Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups Powdered erythritol (or preferred low carb powdered sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat them on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Gradually add the powdered erythritol to the cream cheese and butter mixture. Beat well after each addition to ensure the sweetener is fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Continue beating on medium speed until all ingredients are well combined and the icing is smooth and fluffy, about 1-2 more minutes.
Step 4
Taste the icing. If you'd like it sweeter, you can add a little more powdered sweetener, a tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Step 5
Once the icing is ready, use it immediately to top your favorite low carb cakes, cupcakes, or treats. If you're not using it right away, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Before using, bring it back to room temperature and beat it again until smooth.
