Just wanted to comment that while this may be low fat, it's VERY high in sugar calories, and that turns to fat, so the comment on this recipe is a bit misleading. Look at the calories listed. That's higher than most buttercream icings! I think this icing is way too sugary and sweet. I actually prefer one with more substance.

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
