I am not here to sell you on the benefits of a keto diet. I am here to give you a 0 Net Carb Keto American Buttercream. I personally following a loose keto diet in the sense that I reduce the amount of carbs that I eat. Now, I have not seen extreme weight loss on my diet, but I have lost several pounds slow and steady.
When I say several pounds, I am down 10 pounds since November. As I am writing this, we are just now heading into February. To me, that is really great. I feel it is so great because I am not very strict, but I work hard to make low carb keto choices when I cook or go out to eat.

Now, there are a few important about storing Keto Friendly American Buttercream. First, you must store in the refrigerator. Unlike regular American Buttercream, the sugar will not keep the buttercream safe.
Secondly, if you do store it in the refrigerator, then you will need to leave it out on your counter for several hours to soften. Why? Well, butter hardens when you put it in the refrigerator. After you leave it out to soften, then all you need to do is rewhip it in the mixer for 10 minutes to get your light and fluffy American Buttercream.
