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.
