Notes
How to Store: In the fridge. Technically, it should last as long as your cream cheese or butter expiration date, but I usually don't store it any longer than two weeks.Salted or Unsalted Butter? I prefer the taste of salted butter in this recipe, but you can do any of the following:
Use unsalted butter
Use unsalted butter and add salt to taste
Use salted butter
For a Sweeter or Firmer Frosting: Traditional cream cheese frosting calls for a LOT of powdered sugar. Many recipes with this amount of butter and cream cheese call for two, or even FOUR, cups of powdered sugar. Personally, I think that's sweetness overload, but if you want that level of sweetness, or if you want something a bit firmer to pipe onto keto sweets, you can increase the Swerve Confectioners to your desired sweetness/thickness. It will add zero net carbs since sugar alcohols are not included in the net carb count.Also, try our Keto Sweetened Condensed Milk and sugar free white chocolate mousse.
