Notes
Cream Cheese: For a lightened-up version, I use Neufchatel Cheese or Low Fat Cream Cheese, but feel free to use regular, full-fat cream cheese. Also, if the cream cheese is not softened prior to mixing it with your mixer, it will turn out grainy and lumpy. It's important to set the cream cheese on the counter for about 30 minutes to an hour before you start working with it.
Yogurt: To keep it as light as possible, I use non-fat plain yogurt, but I have also tried this with fruit yogurt, and it's even better.
Brown Sugar: Use the suggested amount, taste it, and see if you want to add more.
If you need to thin it out, add a tablespoon of milk at a time, stir until combined, and add more if needed.
