Keto Cream Cheese Frosting
Description
Keto Cream Cheese Frosting is made by first creaming together softened cream cheese and unsalted butter to create a smooth base. Vanilla extract and a pinch of salt are then added to enhance flavor complexity. The sweetener used is Swerve confectioners, a sugar substitute low in carbohydrates. It is incorporated gradually by whisking in increments until the frosting achieves a creamy, smooth consistency without graininess.
This frosting is intended for those following a ketogenic diet, containing less than one net carb per serving. Its cream cheese base gives it a slightly tangy, rich flavor that balances well with the sweetener, making it suitable for frostings on low-carb cakes or cupcakes.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- ½ cup butter unsalted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 cups Swerve confectioners sweetener
Instructions
- In a mixer with the whisk attachment, combine cream cheese and butter creaming them together.
- Add the vanilla and the salt combining them with the cream cheese mixture.
- Add Swerve confectioners 1 cup at a time whisking together with the cream cheese mixture until it is smooth and creamy.
Notes
- This frosting contains less than one net carbohydrate per serving, making it suitable for keto diets.
