Ingredients
1/3 cup Sugar Free Icing Mix (75g)
1 tub cream cheese (200g-250g)
3 tablespoons soft butter (60g)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (we used the juice of a small/med lemon)
Directions
1Soften the cream cheese and butter. For refrigerated butter and cream cheese – heat cream cheese for 30 seconds in a microwave-safe bowl. Remove, add butter and heat for a further 30 seconds. For room temperature cream cheese and butter – heat together in a microwave-safe bowl for 20 seconds.
2Place cream cheese, butter, icing mix and lemon juice in a mixing bowl.
3Using an electric mixer or beaters, beat on low until all combined.
4Once combined, beat on high for 5-8 minutes until light and fluffy.
5Ensure your icing is spread onto cooled cake, loaf or muffins. Icing will melt if the cake is not cooled completely.

Unused icing can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. Icing cannot be frozen.
Iced cakes should be stored in the fridge, but served at room temperature.
