A silky-smooth low carb sugar free cream cheese frosting recipe that?s perfect for carrot cakes, red velvet cakes, layer cakes, and cupcakes.

Cream cheese frosting was one of my favorites growing up – especially on my mother?s carrot cake. She made one every year for Easter and slathered it in tangy-sweet cream cheese frosting. It was so good that I often ate just the frosting and left the cake behind.
Now that I'm grown with my own children, I continue mom?s Easter tradition and make my family a low carb carrot cake with a sugar free cream cheese frosting (and sometime carrot cupcakes). In fact this frosting is so fast and easy to make, it?s my go-to recipe for decorating all kinds of cupcakes and even layer cakes.

Some people don't care for cream cheese frosting. They don't like the tang. My sugar free cream cheese frosting recipe tames the tanginess by whipping the cream cheese with butter, resulting in a silky-smooth texture. Whipping the ingredients produces a fluffy cream cheese frosting much nicer than the original my mother made, which was a little runny and overly sweet. If you are new to low carb you may be wondering how to make cream cheese frosting without sugar. It?s easy. I use a natural low carb sugar alternative like an erythritol/stevia blend in place of the sugar. I like Sukrin Icing Sugar but Swerve Confectioners is another popular brand.

Because erythritol isn't digested or absorbed in the body, this sugar free frosting recipe shouldn't impact...
