Chef's pro tip

Making cream cheese frosting without powdered sugar can be tricky because many sugar substitutes leave a gritty texture. We’ve been there—using powdered erythritol, only to find it wouldn’t dissolve properly.

So stick with allulose for the best results. If that’s not an option, powdered monk fruit sweetener is a great backup with its pleasant taste and smooth texture.
