Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Powdered erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
Instructions
Allow the cream cheese and butter to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and butter.
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese and butter together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add vanilla extract to the bowl and continue to beat for another minute until well incorporated.
Gradually add the powdered erythritol to the mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, beating on low speed to incorporate before adding more.
Once all the erythritol has been added, increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat for 2 additional minutes until the icing is thick and fluffy.
Check the consistency of the icing. If needed, add the heavy cream one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition, until the desired consistency is reached.
Use immediately to ice cakes or muffins, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Before using from the refrigerator, allow it to come to room temperature and mix briefly to regain creamy consistency.
