Sugar-Free Keto Buttercream Frosting (0 Carb) Recipe
Introduction
This Sugar Free Keto Frosting is a creamy, rich buttercream that contains zero carbs, making it perfect for low-carb and ketogenic diets. It’s smooth, fluffy, and sweetened naturally with monk fruit and allulose, offering a guilt-free way to top your favorite desserts.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Danish Creamery European Style Unsalted Butter (softened at room temperature)
- 1 cup Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp Sea salt
- 1 tbsp Heavy cream (adjust as needed)
Instructions
- Step 1: Using a hand mixer, cream the softened Danish Creamery Butter and Besti blend together for 2-3 minutes until fluffy and light yellow. Begin at low speed, then increase once the sweetener is incorporated.
- Step 2: Beat in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and sea salt at low speed until combined.
- Step 3: Increase the mixer speed to high and beat for an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve the desired light and airy consistency.
- Step 4: If the frosting is too thick, add more heavy cream, one teaspoon at a time, beating after each addition until you reach the perfect texture.
Tips & Variations
- For a different flavor, try adding 1-2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to make a sugar-free chocolate version.
- Ensure the butter is soft but not melted to get the best fluffy texture.
- If you don’t have Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend, you can substitute with another powdered low-carb sweetener but expect slight changes in texture.
Storage
Store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Before using, let it come to room temperature and re-whip with a hand mixer to restore its fluffy texture. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before re-whipping.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use regular granulated sweetener instead of powdered?
It’s best to use powdered sweetener for a smooth frosting texture. Granulated sweeteners may not dissolve well and can leave a gritty feel.
Will this frosting harden if left out?
This buttercream will soften at room temperature but should hold its shape if not exposed to heat. For best results, keep it cool, especially in warmer environments.

- 1/8 tsp Sea salt
- 1 tbsp Heavy cream (adjust as needed)

- Cream Butter and Sweetener: Using a hand mixer, beat the softened Danish Creamery butter and Besti powdered monk fruit allulose blend together for 2-3 minutes. Begin mixing at low speed to incorporate the sweetener, then increase to medium or high speed until the mixture is fluffy and light yellow in color.
