~ Low Carb Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe
Recipe by Kathryn
Low Carb Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup of butter (1 stick), room temperature
8 oz of Philly cream cheese (1 package), room temperature
Low Carb Sweetener to equal 1-2 cups of powdered sugar (I used 1 cup Powdered Erythritol + 1 tsp. Stevia)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
METHOD
1 With an electric mixer, mix the butter and cream cheese together, about 3 minutes on medium speed until very smooth. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
2 Add the vanilla extract and mix. Slowly add the sweetener. Keep adding until you get to desired sweetness and thickness.
3 Either spread on with an off set spatula or spoon into a piping bag to decorate your cake or cupcake.
I like this recipe but would replace 1/4 of the butter with 1/4 melted coconut oil. The coconut oil gives the frosting a glossy "ganache" texture.
