Delicious Sugar-Free Cream Cheese Frosting

I recently made this frosting to go on my daughter's first birthday cake and it was delicious! I didn't want her to have any artificial sweeteners and with there being so much sugar in the cake already, I was happy when I found this recipe.


1 8-oz. package cream cheese
1/4 c. apple juice concentrate or orange juice concentrate
1-2 tsp. vanilla


Directions:
1. Cream the cream cheese.
2. Add the apple juice concentrate and vanilla and beat until smooth and creamy.
3. Frost! (or just eat, it's really good).


Variations: If you are using the apple juice concentrate, then this recipe is also REALLy good with some orange zest, lemon zest or to use just cream cheese and orange juice concentrate for a citrus flair.

This frosting sounds surprisingly good.

I read this as my son sits next to me eating a small bowl full of dry Frosted Flakes. I now officially feel guilty about the amount of sugar intake I subject him to to keep him quiet for just a few minutes each morning!
