Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Powdered erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Allow the unsalted butter to soften at room temperature until it is easy to press with a finger. This should take about 30 minutes. Do not microwave as this can melt and ruin the texture.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter and beat it with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until creamy and fluffy.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered erythritol to the butter, about half a cup at a time, beating on low speed until mixed. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Step 4
Once all the erythritol is incorporated, continue beating on medium speed for another 1-2 minutes until well combined and smooth.
Step 5
Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Beat on medium-high speed until the frosting is light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Taste the frosting and, if desired, add more vanilla extract or a pinch more salt to adjust the flavor to your liking.
Step 7
Once prepared, use immediately to frost cooled cakes or cupcakes or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Stir the frosting before using if it has been refrigerated.
