Final answer:

To make cream cheese frosting without powdered sugar, use alternative sweeteners such as honey or maple syrup. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add the sweetener and any flavorings of your choice. Refrigerate the frosting before using.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make cream cheese frosting without powdered sugar, you can use alternative sweeteners such as honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. Start by beating softened cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add the sweetener of your choice, adjusting the amount to taste. You can also add vanilla extract or other flavorings for extra taste.

Here's a simple recipe:

  1. 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
  2. 1/4 cup of honey (or sweetener of choice)
  3. 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  4. Optional: zest of lemon or orange

In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the honey and mix well. Add the vanilla extract and any optional flavorings. Mix until well combined. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using to allow the frosting to firm up.

WHY IS IT LUMPY?

to prevent from getting lumpy and keeping its smooth consistency make sure your cream cheese and butter is room temp before mixing together

HOW LONG WILL IT STAY OUR ROOM TEMP?

it will stay out room temp for 8 hours before you need to refrigerate or freeze. other sources say if you want it to stay in the best condition don't leave it out for more then 2 hrs before refrigerating.
