3 Minute Keto Frosting Recipe
When it comes to frosting there are two distinct sides. You’ve got your buttercream frosting lovers, and your cream cheese frosting die-hards. We’re not picking sides, but we are going to show you how to make two flavors of the best keto frosting you’ve ever had. What’s even more impressive is that it’s only going to take you 3 minutes to make!
Keto Buttercream Frosting
With only a handful of ingredients it really can’t get much easier than this. All you have to do is add them into a bowl and mix with your hand mixer. Perfect, fail safe, keto frosting any time you need it.
Pro Tip: With any frosting you make, whether it’s low carb or not, buttercream or cream cheese, it’s important to use confectioner sugar! So, you can either buy confectioner eryhtritol or powder your own erythritol using a spice or coffee grinder, which is what we like to do! We are always baking so we like to buy erythritol in a 5 pound bag. The reason we don’t buy confectioner is because it’s normally more expensive and you don’t always need it powdered. For example, our chewy chocolate chip cookies use granular erythritol! However, with frosting, you want a fine powder so it disappears into the mixture..

Keto Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
The greatest part about making vanilla buttercream frosting is that if you have any leftover all you have to do is add some cocoa powder, and it is instantly transformed. Personally, Matt and I are chocolate people so we always go for a vanilla cake and chocolate frosting. Our favorite duo is this chocolate frosting on our protein cakes. Protein cakes are just as guilt free as these keto frosting recipes! Less than 1 carb per slice, topped with a buttercream frosting gives you the perfect balance of fat and protein in dessert form! Does it get better?
Try It On Our Best Keto Desserts
When a recipe is this easy, delicious, and low carb why not have it on hand in your kitchen at all times? Heck, this is such an easy recipe I know it by heart. We are always making desserts so frosting is always on the menu. Brownies? Need frosting. Donuts? Need frosting. Chocolate muffins? Always need frosting. So go ahead and make both of these frosting, bake up some protein cakes, and you decide which sugar free frosting is your favorite!

Hi, can I pipe this into swirls or other designs and will it hold its shape for 24 hours?
This recipe tastes great although I had some grittiness even when adding the powdered sweetener in batches. Do you have any other ideas to help me combat this?
I made the chocolate version and added another 1-2 tbsp cacao.
