Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Powdered erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Allow the unsalted butter to soften at room temperature until it is easy to press with a finger. This should take about 30 minutes. Do not microwave as this can melt and ruin the texture.
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter and beat it with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until creamy and fluffy.
Gradually add the powdered erythritol to the butter, about half a cup at a time, beating on low speed until mixed. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Once all the erythritol is incorporated, continue beating on medium speed for another 1-2 minutes until well combined and smooth.
Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Beat on medium-high speed until the frosting is light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Taste the frosting and, if desired, add more vanilla extract or a pinch more salt to adjust the flavor to your liking.
Once prepared, use immediately to frost cooled cakes or cupcakes or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Stir the frosting before using if it has been refrigerated.
