    Skip the store bought and whip up your own classic keto cream cheese frosting! With just a few simple ingredients you can have a tasty low carb cream cheese frosting that's better than those high in sugar store brands!

    keto cakes on a blue plateMaking your own cream cheese frosting is so simple, delicious, and can be perfectly keto if you use the right sweetener!

    That's right!  The only difference between this recipe and a traditional cream cheese frosting is typically the sweetener used.  A simple swap from powdered sugar to a keto friendly powdered sweetener saves over 80 calories and 20 grams of sugar per serving!  I definitely think that is worth the swap.

    So the next time you are in to mood for a keto cupcake, use this recipe to cut the carbs substantially and enjoy your treat without the guilt.
