    An easy frosting is meurange frosting. Just two ingredients: powdered egg whites and corn syrup. You whip the egg white and then mix in hot corn syrup (I heat it in the microwave). It is really fluff and glossy and doesn't need refrigeration. You might be able to find a cream cheese version. I don't know the calories. In sure it isn't the lowest, but better than regular frosting.

    Hi my mom used to take softened butter2T , and powdered sugar 1 cup and then add enough milk to get to the consistency you want. About 2 T, then vanilla. For this I would also add cinnamon or nutmeg. If too thin, then just add more powdered sugar.. Hope this works for you..

    I make the same muffins, but add chocolate chips. That way they're sweet enough & don't need frosting!

    I use milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet because I'm a gluttonous piggie. :happy:

    I've been making a lot fo mason jar individual desserts lately and what i use as "whipped cream" is :
    30 grams egg white
    1-/8 1-/4 tsp cream of tartar
    2 tbsp Stevia/Splenda

    BEat the egg whites and tartar until foamy then sprinkle the sweetener gradually, beat at high for about 3-5 minutes, voila! and less than 20 cals and makes a lot

    You could try this Cottage Cheese topping as a base and maybe amend it to make it less topping more "frosting".
    It's from a recipie I found online for the MOST delicious Chocolate and PB Mug cake.
    It makes a single serve, so easy to work out for a batch :)

    Whipped Banana Cottage Cheese

    Ingredients:
    - ¼ cup Low Fat Cottage Cheese
    - 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Almond Milk
    - ¼ of a Banana
    - ¼ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
    Directions:
    Blend all ingredients together until it becomes a whipped consistency.

    Lite coolwhipemixed with cream cheese makes as nice sweet topping. Add powdered sugar to taste if it needs to be sweeter.
