Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 4 oz Unsalted butter
- 3 cups Powdered erythritol
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Heavy cream
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Directions
Step 1
Bring the cream cheese and unsalted butter to room temperature by letting them sit out for at least 30 minutes. This will ensure they blend smoothly.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, add the room-temperature cream cheese and unsalted butter.
Step 3
Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the powdered erythritol to the bowl. Continue to beat on low speed initially to prevent the powder from flying out, then increase to medium speed until the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and salt to the mixture. Beat on medium speed until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the frosting has a light, fluffy texture.
Step 6
Taste the frosting. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add more powdered erythritol, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired sweetness.
Step 7
Once the frosting is ready, use it immediately to frost cakes or cupcakes, or store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one week. If refrigerated, allow it to soften at room temperature before using.
