Health Conditions Diabetes-Appropriate Diabetic Holiday & Event Recipes Diabetic Birthday Recipes Cream Cheese Frosting 5.0 (2) 2 Reviews This healthy and easy cream cheese frosting recipe is ready in just five minutes and makes enough to frost the top and sides of one 9-by-13-inch sheet cake. We made this frosting healthy, with less saturated fat and calories than traditional versions, by using reduced-fat cream cheese instead of full-fat cream cheese, using Greek yogurt in place of butter and keeping sugar to a minimum.
