Sugar Free Keto Frosting (Buttercream, 0 Carb) Recipe
Introduction
This Sugar Free Keto Frosting is a creamy, rich buttercream that’s completely free of carbs and refined sugars. Perfect for keto-friendly desserts, it delivers classic sweetness using monk fruit sweetener and a silky smooth texture that spreads beautifully.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Danish Creamery European Style Unsalted Butter (softened at room temperature)
- 1 cup Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp Sea salt
- 1 tbsp Heavy cream (adjust as needed)
Instructions
- Step 1: Using a hand mixer, cream the softened Danish Creamery butter and Besti powdered monk fruit allulose blend together for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is fluffy and light yellow. Start mixing at low speed and increase once the sweetener is incorporated.
- Step 2: Beat in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and sea salt at low speed until combined.
- Step 3: Increase the mixer speed to high and continue beating for another 2-3 minutes until the frosting reaches your desired light and creamy consistency.
- Step 4: If the frosting feels too thick, add more heavy cream one teaspoon at a time, beating after each addition, until you achieve the perfect spreadable texture.
Tips & Variations
- For a different flavor, try adding a teaspoon of cocoa powder for a chocolate version or a few drops of peppermint extract for a refreshing twist.
- If you can’t find Besti sweetener, Monk Fruit or erythritol powdered blends also work well as sugar-free substitutes.
- Make sure the butter is softened but not melted to ensure a smooth, creamy frosting.
Storage
Store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Before using, bring it to room temperature and briefly re-whip to restore its fluffy texture. For longer storage, freeze for up to three months and thaw overnight in the fridge.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use regular sugar instead of monk fruit sweetener?
Yes, but this will add carbs and sugar, so it won’t be keto-friendly. Use powdered sugar if you want a similar texture.
What if my frosting is too runny?
Chill the frosting briefly in the fridge and then whip it again. You can also add a little extra softened butter to thicken it up.
