If I ever get around to it, I'm going to try my regular recipe,
substituting Splenda for the sugar. Who knows, it could work, but the
OP didn't want Splenda.
White Cloud Frosting
Cook 1 c milk with 6 T flour until very thick, cool
Cream together 1 cup butter with 1 cup sugar, until sugar melts
Add the cooled mixture to the creamed mixture plus 1 t vanilla extract
and beat well for a long time, at least 5 minutes. I don't know that it
will work with Splenda, I hope so, and it will still be carby, (one
thing at a time) I've always loved this stuff because it is so fluffy,
kind of like whipped cream but sweeter.
I did find out I could eat a regular sized cupcake with this frosting
made the regular way, my mom made some for my birthday so I wouldn't end
up with a whole cake I wasn't able to eat.
