1 cup Crisco shortening (we used butter flavored, but the recipe calls for white for ease of coloring the icing)
1 tsp of vanilla, almond, or butter extract
7-8 tsp of water or milk (if you use milk, you will add carbs to the frosting)
1 lb (about 4 cups) Sugar Free Powdered sugar
Pinch of salt
(we left out the 1 tbsp of meringue powder)
Cream shortening, water (or milk), and powdered sugar. Add extract and pinch of salt. Mix together until creamy. Makes about 2.5 cups of icing.
Carbs: 0 per serving
Calories: 200 per serving (if you use all of the frosting on the cake - that's A LOT of frosting! )
If you use Truvia or Stevia, there are carbs - about 3 per slice of cake if you cut in 8 slices, 2.4 if you cut into 12.
