Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Cool: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

Frosting

1/2 cup light/reduced-fat cream cheese

1/4 cup light butter

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/3 cup powdered sugar

 

Cupcakes

1 3/4 cups moist-style strawberry cake mix (about half a box)

1/2 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup chopped freeze-dried strawberries

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with baking cups, or spray it with nonstick spray.

In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract. With an electric mixer set to medium speed, beat until smooth, 1 - 2 minutes. Continue to beat while gradually adding powdered sugar. Beat until smooth, another 1 - 2 minutes. Cover and refrigerate.

In another large bowl, combine cake mix, yogurt, and 3/4 cup water. Whisk until smooth and uniform. Evenly distribute batter among the cups of the muffin pan.

Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 16 - 18 minutes.

Let cool completely, about 10 minutes in the pan and 25 minutes out of the pan.

Top with frosting and freeze-dried strawberries.
