The Simplest Keto Cream Cheese Frosting (Sugar Free!)

I love being able to whip up frosting in a jiff. Especially for nights when I get those random cupcake cravings (check out my copycat swerve keto cake batter here). This keto cream cheese frosting is so easy to make and has less than 1-gram net carbs. I mean, why not?

This frosting is super tasty. It’s not too sweet, and honestly, I could (and do) eat it all by itself.

Life is short, so lets get right to it!

The Ingredients

• 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
• 1/2 c butter (room temperature)
• 1 c swerve confectioners sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla
• pinch of salt

Keto Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe…

1. Using a hand mixer, mix cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and salt.
2. Continue mixing and slowly add confectioners sugar.
3. Beat another 5 minutes after everything is mixed.
4. Refrigerate about 20 minutes before eating.

How to Fork It Up…

• Melting the butter and cream cheese. Obviously this won’t work. Don’t do it.
• Adding the frosting to warm cake. This will make your frosting melt. Let the cake cool first and all will be yum.

Something I don’t recommend, yet do all the time anyways… Sometimes I just want some dang frosting! To speed up the wait time of allowing the butter and cream cheese to soften, I use the defrost setting in my microwave. You just need to keep a really close eye and to make sure it doesn’t melt. But then again, I am not a good example and this is also a really good way to fork up your frosting.

I hope you enjoy this easy keto cream cheese frosting recipe as much as I do. Let me know how it went in the comments below! ❤
