Almond Cheese Frosting (for Panda Bear Brownies)
From Gem's Vegetarian Cooking
Source: Mommy Stone
- 3 ounce Neufchatel Cheese (low fat cream cheese), softened
- 1 Tablespoon margarine
- 2 Cup powdered sugar
- 3 Tablespoon milk
- 1/2 Teaspoon almond extract, (or mint extract)
- 1/2 Teaspoon vanilla
- 2 drops green food coloring, or red food coloring
Combine ingredients in mixing bowl and beat until smooth.
Modification: Needed to make the frosting but didn't have any cream cheese. So, used 3 ounces of low fat cottage cheese, 2 tbs maragarine, 1 tbs milk and then everything else as before. Purred everything very thoroughly in the food processor. Turned out amazingly good though uncertain if it'll harden enough.
Chocolate Glaze:
In microwave melt 3 ounce semisweet chocolate chips and 6 Tablespoon margarine. Stir till smooth.
