This keto cream cheese frosting is smooth, creamy, and full of fluffy goodness! Made in just a few minutes with only 5 ingredients, it’s the perfect way to top keto cakes, cupcakes, or even brownies.
What Makes This Recipe So Good
Cream cheese – Use full-fat cream cheese for slightly tangy, rich flavor
Powdered erythritol – Unlike other sugar substitutes, erythritol doesn’t have a chemical or artificial taste, helping make this frosting taste like the real thing.
Heavy cream – Helps make the frosting smooth and creamy, perfect for decorating desserts (or eating out of the bowl – no judgment!)
How To Make It
Mix together the first four ingredients until creamy and fluffy.
Slowly add in the cream until the frosting is pipeable or spreadable enough to your liking. (You may not need all of it.)
Chef’s Tips
- Make sure the cream cheese is room temperature before mixing. Cool or cold cream cheese will be way too lumpy! You can either let your cream cheese sit out until it warms up or heat it in the microwave in 5-10 second intervals.
