You’ll Love This Keto Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Three ingredient minimum for the most simple version.
  • Perfect topping for keto desserts!
  • No cooling effect from erythritol!

How To Make Keto Cream Cheese Frosting-Step By Step

  1. You must bring your cream cheese to room temperature. This will be key in making it so that you can actually mix it with the other ingredients smoothly.
  2. Cream together sour cream and cream cheese.

  3. Add in powdered sweetener here. I no longer use erythritol by itself due to the cooling effect. I now use this mix by HighKey. It’s a blend of monk fruit, allulose and stevia combination.
    adding powdered sweetener
  4. Continue mixing with hand mixer. Lastly, you can add a extract in or not. Vanilla extract is classic but I have played with maple and hazelnut.

Helpful Recipe Tips

  • If running late on time and your cream cheese is hard do this. Take a warm bowl of water and let it sit in there in it’s foil packaging. This should take 5-10 minutes and you’re good to go.
  • Powdered sweetener only! If you choose to use granulated it can get very grainy. Liquid is an option but you may have a aftertaste if using stevia.
  • Extracts aren’t needed. They do enhance your keto frosting but they are optional.

How Do I Use Keto Frosting?

Cream cheese frosting is used in so many keto desserts. When making a keto chocolate cake this frosting is great. Do you love red velvet? Cream cheese and red velvet are a great match as well. I have even used this frosting with lemon juice to top my lemon keto cookies. This gave it a lemon cheesecake feel.

The Sweeteners

Mentioned above, to avoid the strong cooling effect of erythritol I no longer use it. HighKey that make the wonderful cookies I reviewed actually has a line of sweeteners. They have a monk fruit and stevia mix. And a allulose, monk fruit and stevia mix. These are far sweeter together than apart. Meaning, you use less! You can purchase them here and save 10% by using discount code “sugarlesscrystals”.

Hi, I'm Darius. I am aware that I'm rather young but I started caring about my health years ago. I think it's truly important because at a young age I knew the food they were feeding us was complete b.s, can I curse up here?
