Equipment
- 1 Spatula
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Swerve
- 2 Egg Whites
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 2 tablespoons Heavy Cream
- 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Sugar Free
Instructions
- Prep the Base: In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites and powdered sugar substitute. Add a little lemon juice to stabilize the meringue for the best results.
- Cream the Butter: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or the paddle attachment of a stand mixer to beat the butter until creamy.
- Combine Ingredients: Slowly add the egg white mixture to the butter, alternating with the heavy cream. Mix on medium-low speed until smooth and glossy.
- Customize: Stir in the vanilla extract for a classic flavor. Add gel food colors for different designs but avoid adding too much liquid to maintain a fairly thick frosting.
- Decorate: Transfer to a piping bag and decorate your keto sugar cookies, gingerbread houses, or cakes. For cutout cookies, this frosting holds its shape perfectly!
Notes
Storage Tips
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
- Freeze extra frosting in a plastic bag for up to 3 months. Thaw before using.
- Use fresh egg whites or liquid egg whites for the right consistency.
- If the frosting becomes too runny, mix in a little almond flour or xanthan gum.
- Clean your stand mixer and bowls thoroughly to ensure a smooth icing texture.
