I found this recipe in a book called “Out of the Sugar Rut” and made a couple of adaptations to make it taste and work better.
Cream cheese frosting #2
2 packages (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. vanilla
1/3 cup honey
2 egg whites, beaten stiff
1 package of instant sugar free vanilla/chocolate/etc pudding
In medium bowl, with electric mixer at medium speed, beat the cream cheese with the butter and vanilla until creamy. Add honey. Beat 3 minutes more. Add instant pudding and beat until dissolved. Fold in beaten egg whites and mix thoroughly. Spread thickly over top of cake. You can make basic borders and decorations with this icing.
I tried this recipe for my dad's birthday cake as he is a diabetic. I used the Agave. It was perfect! He loved it! I also added about 2 tablespoons of whipping cream to get a smoother consistency! Thank you for posting it!
I thought the same thing about the honey. It is sugar. Also what about the vanilla? Is that sweet too? What does Agave come from? Is that sugar? Does it really need the honey? I will try it without.
This recipe is NOT sugar-free with 1/3 c honey! Honey is sugar, especially to a diabetic!
Try using Agave. I'm going to try it.
i thought honey coming from nectar is not an actual sugur???? sense sugar come from sugar cane plant

Will this recipe eventually 'crust' due to the egg whites? Need to use a sugar free crusting recipe under fondant.
