Fat Free Cream Cheese Frosting

This fat-free frosting recipe has a brilliant trick up its sleeve. Using ricotta as well as cream cheese helps make a rich, creamy icing that is better than store-bought low fat versions.

Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

It was a good recipe and the dressing tasted very good (I love cream cheese). It solved the problem I was running into (all store-bought icings have evil trans fats). The only problem I ran into was I was planning on piping the icing on and it was too thin to hold its shape. I read online that the extreme mixing I did probably broke down the structure of the cream cheese making it very thin. But other than that it turned out great.
I just made this last night. The taste was decent but I didn't really like the texture that it had from the ricotta cheese. Also, I didn't have a food processor and blending didn't seem to work. I didn't get a feeling that it was "frosting"-more like goop.
Of course you won't get the same texture by not using a food processor as called for in the recipe. Ricotta really needs to be well blended in a food processor to be used in this recipe.
