Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups Sugar-free powdered sweetener (e.g., erythritol-based)
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter. Use an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment to beat the butter on medium speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, approximately 1 minute.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the sugar-free powdered sweetener. Beat until the sweetener is fully incorporated into the butter, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat the mixture for about 2-3 minutes until it is fluffy.
Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Beat on low speed initially to combine the ingredients and then increase to medium-high speed for an additional 2 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Taste the frosting and add more sweetener or vanilla extract if desired, then mix again to fully incorporate any additional ingredients.
Use the frosting immediately to decorate cakes or cupcakes. If not using immediately, store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Allow it to come to room temperature and beat again before using.
