Make Low Fat Icing. Here's How.

Things You'll Need

  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • 1/2 cup low-fat butter substitute
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup low-fat or non-fat milk
    • 1

      Pre-measure all ingredients. After measuring them, pour the vanilla extract into the milk. Place all pre-measured ingredients within reach of mixing bowl.

    • 2

      Place butter in the mixing bowl. Set mixer on low speed, and beat the butter until it is fluffy.

    • 3

      Slowly add powdered sugar to the butter mix, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.

    • 4

      Pour in the vanilla extract and milk mixture while continuing to beat the butter and sugar mixture.

    • 5

      Beat until combined mixture is light and fluffy.

    • 6

      Turn off mixer. Use the rubber spatula to carefully scrape the frosting off the beaters and back into the bowl. Frost desired treat.


Tips

  • Any frosting can be made low fat by using low-fat or non-fat substitutions. Butter, margarine, milk, whipped cream, sour cream and cream cheese are easy to find in such alternative forms. Chocolate chips and squares are more difficult to find low-fat substitutes for, but if the other fat sources in the recipe are replaced with non-fat and low-fat alternatives, the recipe will still be a reduced fat recipe.

  • If you do not normally purchase non-fat milk but want to use it as a non-fat substitute for regular milk, purchase a package of powdered milk instead. It is non-fat and can be made in small quantities just for cooking and baking.

  • Substitutions may affect overall taste, texture and quality. Be sure to use high-quality products for the best results.

  • In cooking and baking, sometimes a little fat is needed for flavor or thickness to produce high-quality results. Removing all of the fat from a frosting that needs to be slightly thick may produce poor results.

Hello Ladies,  I made a dish that actually was pretty tasty.  I bought a box of SeaPak shrimp scampi(from Sams) and to that I added broccoli, cauliflower, and pasta.  Very Tasty........  I don't know if walmart sells SeaPak but I partially cooked the veggies and Fully cooked the pasta and then mixed it together.  My family liked it.  ENJOY

Please Pray

Sistas, please pray for my family. As the SistaStrong founder I have to take my own words of advice and reach out when it is necessary. It is important we do this because our strength is not only in our own stand, our own purpose, but it is in God and it is in each other.My son and I have been battling an illness for over a month. This is one of the hardest things I've been through in my life.  Your prayers would be so appreciated, you have no idea.  Big thanks. Standing on my healing. See More

Do Women Arrive to New Knowledge Before Men Do?

Why do women hears and/or sees what God says before men do? mmmm......... I had an ahhhh haaaaa moment this week. Many arguments start because God may reveal some things to the women first. Many women then begin to get irritated because they feel as if their husbands are not in tune to what God is saying therefore…See More
