Method
 

  1. Place the 8 ounces block of cream cheese into the large bowl of your stand mixer or hand mixer. Beat on medium speed for about 60 seconds until the cheese is softened and completely smooth.
  2. Add the zero sugar canned vanilla icing to the bowl with the cream cheese. Beat on medium speed until the two are fully combined and uniform in color.
  3. Pour in the 2 scoops of protein powder. Turn the mixer to the lowest possible setting to avoid throwing powder out of the bowl, and mix until the powder is fully hydrated. If it is too thick, add a few tablespoons of milk.
  4. Stop the mixer and use your silicone spatula to scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl. Turn the mixer up to medium-high and whip for an additional 30 seconds to aerate the frosting.

Zero Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting Tips

TEXTURE TIP: This frosting is thick, creamy, and spreadable. Chill it for 20 to 30 minutes if you want it firmer for piping.
CREAM CHEESE TIP: Use softened block-style cream cheese. Cold cream cheese can leave lumps in the frosting.
PROTEIN POWDER TIP: A whey/casein blend usually gives the best texture. Pure whey or plant-based protein may change the thickness, so add it slowly and adjust with milk if needed.
SUBSTITUTION WARNING: Do not swap the zero sugar canned icing for dry stevia alone. The canned icing adds sweetness, moisture, and spreadable texture.
SERVING TIP: Only spread this frosting on fully cooled baked goods. Warm cakes, muffins, or cookies can soften the cream cheese and make the frosting runny.
