Why You Will Love This Recipe?

  • Flavour: This frosting has a flavour that is both creamy and sweet. It has a very subtle tanginess that comes from the cream cheese. The combination of natural sweetener and tanginess from the cream cheese creates a balanced flavour that complements various desserts. 
  • Texture: Keto cream cheese frosting has both creamy and velvety texture. The primary ingredient, cream cheese, adds a velvety texture, and butter adds creaminess to the frosting.
  • Easy: Contrary to the name, making this frosting is quite simple. It requires only a few ingredients to make the frosting. It can be prepared super quickly, making it a convenient option for adding a touch of luxury and delightful sweetness to keto-friendly desserts.
  • Homemade goodness: When you make this keto cream cheese frosting at home, you have control over the ingredients and can customise the level of sweetness that you need. 

Important Ingredients Used in the Recipe

  • Cream cheese: It is the star of the show that provides creaminess and tanginess to the frosting. Its rich fats and velvety texture contribute to the texture and flavour of the frosting. Use high-quality, full-fat cream cheese for better results.
  • Erythritol: To add sweetness without the carbohydrates of regular sugar, I have used erythritol and blended it into a powder form. This sweetener has minimal impact on blood sugar levels and is commonly used to bake keto-friendly desserts. Instead of erythritol, you can also use stevia or xylitol to make the frosting.
  • Butter: Butter is the source of healthy fat that contributes to the richness and creaminess of the frosting.  
  • Vanilla essence: Vanilla essence is used to add depth and aroma to the frosting. It complements the tangy flavour of cream cheese and contributes to a more well-rounded taste. 
  • Salt: A pinch of salt is added to enhance the overall flavour of the frosting. It can help balance the sweetness of the frosting as well.

How to Make Keto Cream Cheese Frosting

Preparations: Gather all the ingredients according to the quantity; keep the tools handy so that it is easier to make the frosting. Make sure that you let the butter come to room temperature as well.

Softening cream cheese: In a bowl, mix powdered erythritol sugar and cream cheese together and mix until cream cheese becomes soft. Blend erythritol in a grinder until it looks like it looks like icing sugar. And ensure that you sift it before adding it to cream cheese.

Beat butter: In a different big bowl, beat butter with an electric hand beater or in a stand mixer until the butter turns light and fluffy in texture. Make sure that you do not use cold butter, as it may ruin the creamy texture of the frosting, and it will take a lot of time to turn it into the desired texture.

Add other ingredients: Add softened cream cheese and erythritol mixture to the beaten butter along with vanilla essence and salt; beat again to fully incorporate all the ingredients and until the frosting turns creamy and soft peaked. 

Chef’s Tip for Making Keto Cream Cheese Frosting

Quick Tips For A Smooth Frosting.

Ensure that both cream cheese and butter are at room temperature before using them in the frosting.
Blend and sieve erythritol sugar to prevent lumps and get rid of any impurities.
Soften cream cheese to prevent lump formation as well.

Tip To Prevent Curdled Frosting.

Avoid overmixing. Once the frosting is smooth and creamy, stop mixing; otherwise, overmixing can make the frosting softer, and it may curdle as it has cream cheese in it.

Quick Tip To Fix A Soft Frosting.

If the frosting becomes too soft, chill it in the fridge for a few minutes to make it firm and spreadable.

How to Store Keto Cream Cheese Frosting

As the frosting contains cream cheese, it can be stored in the refrigerator for 4 – 5 days max. Ensure that you keep it in an air-tight container to make sure the texture and flavour are intact.

You can freeze the frosting as well. It can be frozen in the freezer for about 18 – 20 days in an air-tight container.

“I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date”
Before this program I knew a little about manifestations, but as I discovered during the program, I had a lot of limiting beliefs that kept me from fully embracing and accepting myself as a manifestor.
During this program I became more aware of what manifestation is and how powerful I am. I become more aware of my guides, of my highest self and that I can pull the best of my highest self into my present. Since this program I no longer wrestle with trying to convince myself that what I desire will happen. I know that it has happened, it is done and it is mine, here and now. I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date, my eyesight has improved and I no longer need glasses for distance vision, only for reading, I gave myself a make-over as part of my commitment to my renewal and I began to de-clutter my space.

“My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes”
Joining “The Art of Manifesting” was a life-changing decision for me. This is now the third time going through the quest and focusing on different areas of manifestation.
Regan is a powerful guide and she walks the talk.
This 28-day journey was a blend of practical techniques and profound energetical activations. I learned to visualize my goals clearly, expand my possibilities, and overcome the limitations holding me back from living a life i desire. The quest’s unique approach to identity hacking helped me align my inner self with my aspirations, making the manifestation process more effective and authentic.
The biggest takeaway for me was the acceleration of manifestation by bending time and tapping into the highest frequencies. The techniques taught in the quest enabled me to see results much faster than I expected. My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes, and goals that once seemed unattainable are now within reach.
I’m beyond grateful for the wisdom and tools I’ve gained from this quest and Regan. It’s not just about manifesting; it’s about transforming your entire lifestyle. I highly recommend “The Art of Manifesting” to anyone looking to turn their dreams into reality.

“This course and listening to Regan’s podcasts gave me the tools to acknowledge my blocks and mindsets around drinking”
I have so enjoyed this journey with Regan, I am a new person as a result of this quest. I now have new beliefs & mindsets that I keep working on daily, hourly. A kinder and more compassionate version of me has emerged over this journey, and I love her!
This quest has resulted in me finding the lost me, the me that has been hidden under the voices of doubt, fear or just lack of awareness that I get to run my life not the other voices in my head or family and people around me. When we wire ourselves to the future version of us, then we make different choices and we are already a different person!
Thank you Regan, thank you Mindvalley, thank you tribe!!!! ❤❤, I love you all and wish you a magical Christmas and hope our paths may cross one day at Mindvalley events.

“My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest”
Before taking this Quest I believed that the prerequisites of success were hard work, long hours, timing and a degree of luck; “1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” was my mantra. Trying to achieve success with this mindset was exhausting, frustrating and unsustainable.

 

I then discovered The Art of Manifesting … and was blown away.

 

The foundational teaching of focusing on your inner world to achieve has been transformative in the way I live my life. I now know that cultivating the feeling of already being in possession of that which you want, accelerates the manifestation of what you desire.

 

My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest, and have discovered a path to manifest greater abundance in the year to come. But perhaps the biggest shift I experienced during this quest now knowing that I am worthy and deserving of abundance. Regan, I am eternally grateful to you, thank you :-)

“Now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered”
Before this program, I believed somewhat in manifestation but never knew how to do it, or if it was real, and the little bit I did know ended up being completely wrong! This Quest has not only taught me how to manifest and put me on the path to doing it the right way, but I was actually able to manifest what I had set at the beginning.
I never thought it would actually come true, but I committed myself to the process and gave it 100% every day. And now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered. It’s truly blowing my mind.
I had a financial goal for the end of the Quest, and different opportunities for selling my artwork started coming up, and the deals are coming out almost to the exact number I had set.
Not only that, but I have truly transformed into a better version of myself in these short weeks, more than I had in the last few years, that my spouse has even noticed.
I’m so excited for what’s to come next and so grateful for this program. Thank you.

“I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design”
I joined Mindvalley on New Year’s 2023. I am excited to share how life has significantly changed in the first 90 days of the year. Beginning with the Silva Method, I envisioned and transformed a dysfunctional personal relationship, into a loving, caring separation, allowing me the peace and serenity to follow my path, and my partner to choose his. In February while on the Art of Manifesting Quest I listed my intent to have a book written by May 2023, and have a speaking engagement booked by December 2023.
I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design, and a journal for Women seeking a deeper connection with themselves, also in design. Both will be uploaded via KDP Amazon self-publishing by May 1st.
I have booked a speaking engagement for May with the intent of having published books with me for sale.
Most importantly – this morning I changed my profile from ‘Document writer’ to ‘Author.’
Gratitude abounds!!!
