Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups Powdered erythritol or powdered monk fruit sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until it becomes creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Gradually add the powdered erythritol, 1/2 cup at a time, continuing to beat the mixture on low speed until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary to ensure even mixing.
Step 3
Once all the erythritol is incorporated, increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat for another 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
Step 4
Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Beat again on medium speed until all the ingredients are well blended, and the frosting reaches your desired consistency and flavor.
Step 5
Taste the frosting and adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more sweetener if desired.
Step 6
If the frosting is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of heavy cream to achieve a smoother consistency. Conversely, if the frosting is too thin, add more powdered sweetener gradually until the desired thickness is reached.
Step 7
Use immediately to frost cakes or cupcakes, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
