Ingredients

Scale
- 1 cup soft cheese or Greek yogurt (see the section above for options).
- 1/2 cup jam (see notes for details)
- 1 to 2 Tbsp tapioca starch or cornstarch (as needed)
Instructions
- Mix together the soft cheese and jam in a large bowl. Start with a spoon, then use a whisk to make sure everything is smooth and well-combined.
- If the frosting isn’t stiff enough, whisk in a tablespoon of starch to help thicken it. Let it sit for 5 minutes, before whisking in a second tablespoon. Usually, no extra thickener is required. However, kefir cheese or yogurt that hasn’t drained for at least 12 hours can be a bit too liquidy.Â
- Refrigerate the frosting for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- Use sugar-free jam

- If you want to pipe through a star-shaped frosting tip, strain the jam first to remove any chunks of fruit. These will get caught in the icing tip.
- Apricot jam provides a nice neutral flavor. Raspberry and blueberry jams make a beautiful pink frosting. Marmalade is delicious with chocolate cake. However, it usually has chunks of peel, so pipe it through a round decorating tip
