Creamy, Dreamy & Easy 'Diabetic-Friendly' Frosting image

This has been my favorite 'go-to' frosting recipe for as long as I have been diabetic which is over 22 years. It is so easy and tastes so good as well as having very few calories, carbohydrates and low-fat. I really couldn't see using anything else for my family of diabetics and it generally works well with most of my diabetic...
