Cream Cheese Lemon Frosting is a deliciously, sweet, citrus, and creamy, topping to cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. Most importantly, of all, it is not overly sweet or made with tons of powdered sugar. In fact, it is made with powdered Monk Fruit Sweetener. At any rate, it tastes more like a European frosting. It is chock full of tart and sweet lemon flavor that just enhances this frosting. Needless to say, it is the perfect topping for my Gluten-Free Triple Lemon Cupcakes. Not to mention, it has a natural light yellow color. So delicious and light.Two cupcakes, with another half a cup cake showing it stuffed with lemon curd.

Cream Cheese Lemon Frosting:

Spring is often jam-packed with lemon-flavored desserts. Lemons are so vibrant and tasty. Not to mention, the lemon zest inside the frosting adds a little tartness too. Needless to say, it would be super tasty on a vanilla cake or even a chocolate cake. Chocolate and lemon go so well together. Incidentally, I think we put way too much frosting on cakes in America. Therefore, I don’t want or crave a lot of frosting on my cakes or cupcakes. Hence, if you desire more frosting just double the recipe. Consequently, Lemon is a favorite of mine.

Last but not least, this recipe will lightly frost 18 cupcakes about 54 mini cupcakes, and one 6-inch cake. Monk Fruit is found at Costco and Amazon. For information on Monk Fruit Facts Information.
