Makes: 1-1/2 cups

Prep time: 15 min Cook time 1 min

1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbs orange juice
Pasteurized dried egg white for 1 egg white
Water
1 8-ounce package nonfat cream cheese, softened
1/2 tsp dried orange peel or grated fresh orange peel
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

In 1-cup glass measuring cup, microwave sugar and orange juice for 1 minute; stir.

In small bowl, using electric mixer at high speed, beat dried egg white powder and water until soft peaks form; gradually add sugar mixture in a thin stream. Continue beating at high speed until mixture is thick and glossy, about 4 minutes; scrape occasionally.

In medium bowl, using same beaters at high speed, beat cream cheese, orange peel and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes; scrape bowl occasionally.

Add 1/3 of egg white mixture to cream cheese mixture, beating at low speed, just until blended. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in remaining egg white mixture until it is completely blended into cream cheese mixture.

Frost cake or bars and store covered in refrigerator.
