If you don’t like your frosting to be too sweet, this is the perfect frosting recipe for you! The great thing about it is that you can easily change up the recipe with just a few ingredients.

Ingredients

1 8-ounce packet of Neufatel or regular cream cheese
1 cup of sugar
1/2 stick of unsalted butter
2 tablespoons of sour cream
2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract

Directions

Add the Neufatel cheese and butter to a bowl and start mixing at medium speed. (For best results, do use an electric mixer). Once the cheese and butter are light and fluffy, add the sugar and make sure all ingredients are mixed together well. Finally, add the sour cream and vanilla extract and mix together. Make sure your cake is completely cooled before you add the frosting to it.

Variations
Mix in the zest of a lemon or orange to make a refreshing citrus frosting. Add a few extra tablespoons of sugar to balance the flavors. Add 1 cup of Ovaltine to make a delicious chocolate frosting or add 2 teaspoons of almond extract to give this a subtle almond flavor.
