Cream Cheese Icing

[debmarjs]

Does anyone know how to make this?

[lkonzelman]

I would mix with some heavy whipping cream, splenda, vanilla extract and beat until the right consistancy.

Here's another one I just found....

Ingredients:
8 oz package cream cheese
1 1/2 sticks butter
1.9 oz box splenda
1 tsp vanilla


How to Prepare:

Melt butter in small bowl and mix with cream cheese *cut up both, it's easier*. Try to get out all or most of the cream cheese chunks for creamier frosting. Mix in vanilla and gradually mix in splenda. Mix until fluffy and creamy! That's it!

I have used the above recepie although a bit sweet for me it was pretty good. :thup:

What do you all put the icing on?

There is a "Mock Danish" recipe somewhere in the recipe section, and I was just thinking how yummy it would be to make the danish, then slightly nuke a bit of icing to put over it. With a little bit of cinnamon, we're talking almost a real cinnamon bun type thing for breakfast! Folks, we may have a winner! :yum:

[gerriz]

4 oz cream cheese, softened
3 tbls butter, softened
1 teas vanilla
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup splenda
2 teas SF instant pudding mix

Whip cream cheese & butter ubtil fluffy. Add remaining ingrediants and whip until thick. Spread on cooled dessert. Store in refrigerator.
Whole recipe equals 14.5 grams carbs.

faeriegirl I put the icing on the Atkins cinnamon rolls. I have not tried it on anything else.

What a good idea. I am going to give this a try. :yum:

Great timing, you guys! We're having a party at work tomorrow and a diabetic friend asked me to make him the 3-minute devil's food cake, which I thought I'd top with cream cheese frosting.

I just made one that turned out well:

8 oz. cream cheese, softened
3 oz. butter, softened
1/3 cup Walden Farms calorie-free apple butter

Beat together till smooth.

This makes enough to spread generously over a 9 x 13 cake.

The carb count for the entire recipe is 8 gms.

I think the reason this turned out better than any of my previous attempts is that the artificial sweetener in the apple butter is fully dissolved. It also has a nice, subtle apple flavor and it isn't excessively sweet. :yum:

I made a really great one by accident. I mixed together cream cheese, smart start (softened butter would work), vanilla extract, almond extract, 2 packets saccharine, and enough granular splenda to get a good texture and sweetness.

[muffles]

I use cream cheese, splenda and lemon juice. It turns out like the ones on carrot cake, yum!

[missymagoo]

bump it up. sue

[2bthinner!]

I'm going to try this one, as I don't use Splenda or the granular splenda.
