Made with heavy cream, sugar free sweetener, cream cheese, and freeze-dried strawberry powder, this fruity and pink frosting is not only low carb but keto-friendly.

Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature. This will ensure a smooth consistency when blending it with the other ingredients.
For best results, chill mixing bowl in the fridge for 15 minutes before whipping. Keep heavy cream cold in the fridge until then.
Process the freeze-dried strawberries in a mini blender until they turn into a fine powder.
Whip Cream
In a mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and sugar of choice. Start with 2 tablespoons of sugar, and you can adjust for sweetness later.
Use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese and sugar together. The mixture should be creamy, and it's important to prevent lumps in your whipped cream.
Once the cream cheese and sugar are well combined, pour in the heavy cream.
Begin whipping the mixture at low speed, gradually increasing the speed to medium-high until well blended.
Taste the whipped cream and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if needed.
Finish whipping until stiff peaks form. This means the whipped cream should be thick and hold its shape when the beaters are lifted.
Gently fold the finely processed strawberry powder into the whipped cream
Yields approximately 2 cups of whipped cream
Use the freshly whipped cream to top your favorite desserts, such as cakes, pies, fruits and more.
Storing Instructions
If you have leftover whipped cream, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for 1-2 days. You may need to re-whip it for a few seconds to restore the desired consistency.

Notes
*For a low carb frosting, use a granulated sugar-free sweetener such as monk fruit sweetener, allulose, erythritol or stevia powder. If using stevia, be sure to convert the amount of stevia according to package directions.
