Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese
- 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Powdered Erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 tablespoons Heavy Whipping Cream
Directions
Step 1
Ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for easy mixing. Leave them at room temperature for about an hour before starting.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Gradually add in the powdered erythritol, about 1/4 cup at a time, continuously mixing on low speed. This helps prevent the sweetener from puffing out of the bowl.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and continue to mix until it's fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the heavy whipping cream, one tablespoon at a time. Beat until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
Step 6
Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are well combined. Mix for an additional minute for extra fluffiness.
Step 7
Taste the frosting and adjust the sweetness if necessary. Add more powdered erythritol if a sweeter taste is desired, mixing well after each addition.
Step 8
Use immediately to frost cakes or cupcakes, or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Bring back to room temperature and remix before using if stored.
