Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese
- 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Powdered Erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 tablespoons Heavy Whipping Cream
Instructions
Ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for easy mixing. Leave them at room temperature for about an hour before starting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Gradually add in the powdered erythritol, about 1/4 cup at a time, continuously mixing on low speed. This helps prevent the sweetener from puffing out of the bowl.
Add the vanilla extract and continue to mix until it's fully incorporated.
Gradually add the heavy whipping cream, one tablespoon at a time. Beat until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are well combined. Mix for an additional minute for extra fluffiness.
Taste the frosting and adjust the sweetness if necessary. Add more powdered erythritol if a sweeter taste is desired, mixing well after each addition.
Use immediately to frost cakes or cupcakes, or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Bring back to room temperature and remix before using if stored.
