How to make cream cheese icing with no added sugar
How do you make a cream cheese icing (or frosting, as it's called in the US) without adding sugar? Easy! Use a sweetener instead, such as erythritol. Or an erythritol and stevia blend, which measures 1:1 like sugar. Check out our guide on the side effects of erythritol. We'd only recommend these 2 sweeteners for this icing. Others, such as maltitol, have calories (2.4 kcal per gram, against 0 for erythritol) and count towards net carbs.
Is cream cheese keto?
Yes. Full-fat cream cheese has around 3g of carbs per 100g, so it's a staple for anyone on a keto or low-carb diet. Enjoy a dollop on its own, or use it to ice that big keto birthday cake you've made!

Icing
One of our favourite keto icing recipes, and a must for decorating our keto cakes. It's made with cream cheese and our granulated erythritol and stevia blend, so it's smooth, tangy and has no added sugar.
Ingredients
- 150g Cream Cheese
- 70g granulated erythritol and stevia blend
- 3-4 drops of vanilla liquid stevia
Directions
In a bowl, add the cream cheese and the erythritol and stevia blend.
Add 3-4 drops of vanilla liquid stevia.
Using a hand whisk, whisk vigorously until the icing is smooth and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
If you have an electric whisk, that’s even better! Start at a low speed and gradually increase the speed until it’s fluffy.
Spoon the icing onto your cakes and spread it over the top. Alternatively, you can use a piping bag.
