Keto Frosting Ingredients:
- 4 oz (113g) Cream Cheese
- 1/2 stick (57g or 4 Tablespoons) Unsalted Butter
- 1/4 cup (48g) Sweetener of Your Choice (ChipMonk’s AlluMonk Sweetener, Lakanto’s Monk Fruit Sweetener, or Swerve Confectioners Sweetener all work great)
-
Flavorings of your choice:
-
Maple Icing
- 1 teaspoon of Maple Extract (McCormick works well)
-
Lemon Icing
- 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (McCormick works well)
- 1/4 teaspoon Lemon Extract (McCormick works well)
- 1/2 Tablespoon Lemon Juice (best if squeezed from fresh lemons)
-
Chocolate Icing
- 1 Tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (Ghirardelli works well)
-
Vanilla Icing
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (McCormick works well)
-
Raspberry Icing
- 1 teaspoon Raspberry Extract (McCormick works well)
- Red food coloring as needed
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized bowl, cream the butter and cream cheese together with a mixer until fully combined. It helps if the butter and cream cheese have softened some before doing this (you can zap them in the microwave for 15 seconds to help)
- OPTIONAL: If you are using a granulated sweetener, throw it into a blender or food processor. Blend the sweetener until it is fine, fluffy, and powdered. Powdering your sweetener makes for a smoother frosting.
- Add the sweetener and flavorings to your bowl and beat slowly until the sweetener is incorporated (go slow to avoid it getting blown into the air)
- Once the sweetener is incorporated, beat on high for 2 minute or until fluffy
- Use a piping bag (something like these) to pipe the frosting onto whatever you’d like (including directly into your mouth!).
- Enjoy! Keep any icing in an airtight container in your fridge. If refrigerated, they should be good for about a week. (up to 3 months if kept in the freezer)
