Ready to eat homemade frosting again?!
If the answer is YES, then listen up! Today I’m sharing how easy it is to make sugar-free keto cream cheese frosting that pairs perfectly with keto desserts! It takes just a few simple ingredients that you likely already have on hand, and you’ll be minutes away from living your BEST KETO LIFE!
This frosting is the perfect addition to keto cupcakes and cakes!

Hip Tips:
- Use a keto sweetener. The key to getting soft and creamy frosting is confectioners sugar, and we love Swerve Confectioners as a keto-friendly option. The taste and texture is so similar to traditional sugar!
- Spread or pipe on this keto cream cheese frosting using a cake decorating pastry bag and decorating tips just like you would traditional frosting. I love my Wilton Cake Decorating Tool and use if often for decorating with frosting. It’s easy to use over and over again and has multiple tip options.
- Easily make this a chocolate cream cheese frosting recipe! Just mix in a 1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to make a quick chocolate version.
- Want a buttercream frosting instead? Try this yummy and versatile keto buttercream frosting that’s also great for baking!
- How long will frosting keep? Simply store this frosting inside a covered container in the fridge, and it’ll stay good for up to 2 weeks.
