Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Powdered erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
Directions
Step 1
Allow the cream cheese and butter to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and butter.
Step 3
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese and butter together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Add vanilla extract to the bowl and continue to beat for another minute until well incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the powdered erythritol to the mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, beating on low speed to incorporate before adding more.
Step 6
Once all the erythritol has been added, increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat for 2 additional minutes until the icing is thick and fluffy.
Step 7
Check the consistency of the icing. If needed, add the heavy cream one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition, until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 8
Use immediately to ice cakes or muffins, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Before using from the refrigerator, allow it to come to room temperature and mix briefly to regain creamy consistency.
