Keto Strawberry Frosting that's bursting with the flavor of fresh strawberries and only 1 carb per generous serving. Read the recipe notes and then print this one out and put it in your save file!
I've been making homemade frosting since my mom taught me to make it in my early teens. When I set out to make this frosting, my challenge was getting the smooth creamy consistency of a traditional frosting...but without using the powdered sugar I was accustomed to. In a traditional recipe, you make a cream by whipping butter and sugar and then adding flavor.
I found that using the already creamy texture of cream cheese was the perfect substitute for the creamed butter and sugar. So, we begin with cream cheese and whip in butter, heavy whipping cream, and natural sweeteners BochaSweet and Stevia. Then we add the flavoring and just a pinch of salt to complete this keto strawberry frosting recipe. All that's left is to whip on high until light and fluffy.

Why BochaSweet?
Our sugar substitute of choice is BochaSweet and there's good reason for this!
BochaSweet is extracted from the Kabocha pumpkin which has been a staple in the Japanese diet for centuries. Consuming BochaSweet on a daily basis helps to support longevity and supports healthy blood sugar levels.
Even better? It tastes almost exactly like real sugar. There's no thin flavor or metallic aftertaste. I think most of us are looking for something that tastes amazing because only a full, satisfying taste is going to work over the long-term.
So, if we are going to go to all the work to make these keto parfaits so we can please our tastebuds AND stick to our keto diet. Well, we want the result to taste GOOD not... just 'meh' and unsatisfying. For this reason plus the health benefits, we reach for BochaSweet every time.
