๐ง Ingredients
- Neufchatel cheese (โ less fat cream cheese, or cream cheese)
- Greek Yogurt
- Vanilla whey protein powder
- Stevia (or your sweetener of choice)
๐ฉ๐ผโ๐ณ Instructions
Mix Neufchรขtel cheese with Greek yogurt until smooth.
Add vanilla whey and stevia. Mix well.
Refrigerate to cool and set if frosting a cake, or enjoy as is. Store in the refrigerator.
๐ฅฃ Substitutions
If you have a whey/casein protein blend (like Quest protein powder or PEScience), you can use that here but you may need to add milk to get the right consistency.
๐ Variations
Feel free to try other flavors whey protein powder, like this strawberry whey, or this chocolate whey.
Try adding flavorings! These Devotion Nutrition flavors would be great here.
๐ฅ Equipment
You'll need a bowl to mix the ingredients. I love this set of mixing bowls because they are easy to clean and have non-slip bottoms.
It would also be helpful to have a rubber spatula (to get all the frosting out of the bowl) and an offset spatula if you'll be frosting a cake or cupcakes (and not just eating this alone with a spoon).
For piping, these are my favorite piping bags. They are made of a smooth plastic that doesn't stick to itself or to your bowl scraper as you push the frosting down the bag.
And I always suggest measuring your ingredients with a kitchen scale instead of using volume measurements for best results.
๐ฅถ Storage
Store the frosting in the refrigerator in an air-tight container.

Hi Amanda,
I'm not sure which brand you're referring to, but if you like the protein as a shake, I'm sure it would be great in the frosting!

I wonder how it would taste with vanilla bean whey protein? I'm excited to try this sounds soooo good!
