INGREDIENT NOTES:
HEAVY CREAM:
- It thickens and creamifies the keto frosting. Instead, I use high-fat coconut cream.
BUTTER:
- This ingredient has a crunchy texture and a pleasant taste without carbs. To create a dairy-free version, replace it with coconut oil.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- It enhances taste while reducing carbs. Avoid using fake vanilla since it includes alcohol-based compounds and too much sugar.
CREAM CHEESE:
- It adds a creamy and silky texture to this frosting. Replace ricotta or mascarpone cheese to maintain a low-carb diet.
ERYTHRITOL POWDER:
- The frosting is lightly sweetened with erythritol powder. Use allulose or Monk fruit sweeteners instead, which are both suitable for this diet.
