Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups Powdered erythritol or powdered monk fruit sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until it becomes creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered erythritol, 1/2 cup at a time, continuing to beat the mixture on low speed until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary to ensure even mixing.
Once all the erythritol is incorporated, increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat for another 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Beat again on medium speed until all the ingredients are well blended, and the frosting reaches your desired consistency and flavor.
Taste the frosting and adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more sweetener if desired.
If the frosting is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of heavy cream to achieve a smoother consistency. Conversely, if the frosting is too thin, add more powdered sweetener gradually until the desired thickness is reached.
Use immediately to frost cakes or cupcakes, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
