Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups Powdered erythritol or another low-carb powdered sweetener
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter.
Step 2
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter until it is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered erythritol to the butter, about 1/2 cup at a time, and continue to mix until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and heavy cream to the mixture. Mix on low speed until they are well combined.
Step 5
Finish by adding the salt and increasing the mixer speed to medium-high. Beat the frosting for an additional 2-3 minutes until it is smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Taste the frosting and, if desired, adjust the sweetness by adding more sweetener, or the texture by adding more heavy cream, 1 teaspoon at a time.
Step 7
Use the buttercream immediately to frost your baked goods, or store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to use. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whip if necessary before using.
