Silky Sugar-Free Vanilla Frosting

Instructions

1. 1

   Beat the softened butter for 3–4 minutes, until pale and fluffy. This is where patience pays off, dear—the frosting will turn much lighter.

2. 2

   Add the powdered sweetener gradually, beating on low until incorporated.

3. 3

   Beat in the vanilla and salt. Add the cream, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.

4. 4

   Beat on medium-high for another 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the sweetness or vanilla.

5. 5

   Spread immediately, or chill for 15 minutes if it feels too soft. Let chilled frosting sit briefly and stir before using.
