Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Remove the softened butter from the refrigerator and ensure it is at room temperature, which allows for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
- Place the softened butter into a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment for best results.
- Begin beating the butter on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until it becomes light and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl periodically.
- Gradually add the erythritol to the butter, continuing to mix on medium speed until the sweetener is fully incorporated and the mixture becomes fluffy.
- Pour in the vanilla extract and continue mixing to distribute the flavor evenly throughout the frosting.
- Slowly add the heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to achieve a smooth and spreadable consistency.
- Increase the mixer speed to high and whip the frosting for an additional 2-3 minutes until it becomes light, airy, and peaks form easily.
- If the frosting seems too thick, add a small amount of additional heavy cream; if too thin, continue whipping or add more erythritol.
- Transfer the frosting to a piping bag or use a spatula to spread on your desired baked goods.
- Store any unused frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Ensure your butter is truly at room temperature for the smoothest, most luxurious texture.
- Patience Matters: Whip the frosting gradually, scraping down the bowl to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Consistency Check: If the frosting is too thick, add cream in tiny increments; if too thin, continue whipping or add a bit more erythritol.
- Equipment Matters: Use an electric mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment for the fluffiest results.
- Storage Hack: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before using for optimal spreadability.
- Flavor Variations: Feel free to experiment with different extracts like almond or maple to customize your frosting.
