Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting

This was the icing that I made many of you take a taste of today. I hate powdered sugar and super sweet frostings, so this might be my new favorite alternative. Also, it worked great with the low fat cream cheese. Enjoy!

* 1 cup white sugar
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

DIRECTIONS

1. In a small bowl beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form; set aside.
