Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups Powdered erythritol
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by ensuring that your unsalted butter is softened to room temperature. This is crucial for achieving a smooth and creamy frosting.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until it is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered erythritol to the butter, about half a cup at a time, mixing on low speed until combined. This minimizes the chances of the powder puffing up into the air.
Step 4
Once all the erythritol is incorporated, increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat for another 2-3 minutes. The mixture should now be light and fluffy.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the butter and erythritol mixture. Continue beating on medium speed until everything is well incorporated.
Step 6
Gradually add the heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition. This will help achieve a smooth and spreadable consistency.
Step 7
Once all ingredients are combined, increase the mixer speed to high and beat for an additional 2-3 minutes. Taste the frosting and add more vanilla or salt if desired, adjusting to personal taste.
Step 8
Your sugar-free buttercream frosting is now ready to use. Spread it over your favorite cakes or cupcakes and enjoy!
