Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 4 oz Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Heavy cream (optional, for consistency)
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and unsalted butter, both softened to room temperature.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter together on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar substitute, about 1/4 cup at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture on low speed to ensure it incorporates evenly.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, then mix on medium speed until well combined.
If the frosting is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of heavy cream at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Mix thoroughly after each addition.
Taste and adjust sweetness, if needed, by adding a small amount of additional powdered sugar substitute.
Store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or use immediately to frost your favorite cake, cupcakes, or cookies.
