Ingredients
8 oz of Cream Cheese (at Room Temp)
4 Tbsp of High Fat Cream
⅔ Cup of Powdered Swerve
2 tsp of Powdered Stevia
2 tsp of Vanilla
Directions
Beat together the cream cheese and vanilla on High until thick and no lumps remain.
Blend the Swerve and Stevia together separately before adding it to the cream cheese mixture 2 Tbsp at a time, beating it until smooth.
You can use the icing as is for cakes or other desserts, as it will be thick enough for layering.
(Optional) If using for decoration, take ½ cup of the mix and add 2 additional Tbsp of Swerve and 2 drops of your desired food colouring. Mix until colouring is fully combined, and use for anything pipe work or decorations.
(Optional) Once done icing your desserts, you can refrigerate or freeze to keep them longer. Use pieces of parchment paper on top to help the process. And if freezing, wrap first in plastic wrap then foil. Thaw unwrapped for 1-2 hours before eating, if frozen.
