Dairy-Free Sugar-Free Keto Icing (+ Glaze Option)
This keto icing comes together in 10 minutes with just three ingredients: sweetener, coconut oil, and coconut milk. Sugar-free and dairy-free, it adjusts easily from a thick piping icing to a thin glaze depending on what you're decorating.

Ingredients
- 2 cups powdered Monkfruit Sweetener
- ¼ cup coconut oil softened
- 6 tablespoons coconut milk
Instructions
Dairy-Free Keto Icing
- Combine all ingredients together in a bowl and blend smooth with an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Store leftover in the fridge, use on various keto baked goods - cookies, cakes, scones, brownies, and sweet breads. The icing freezes well also, store in an airtight container for up to 6 months in the freezer.
Dairy-Free Keto Glaze
- Make the icing recipe and dilute with 2-4 tablespoons of additional coconut milk. Add 1 teaspoon of coconut milk at a time until you get the consistency you want.
Variations
- Vanilla Icing - add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate Icing - melt 2 ounces of dark chocolate with the coconut oil, add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 4 additional tablespoons coconut milk. Mix in with the other ingredients.
- Mocha Icing - combine 2 teaspoons coffee grounds with 2 tablespoons cacao powder
- Berry Icing - mash 1/2 cup ripe berries (straw, black, blue etc). Combine into the mixing bowl with an extra 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add more milk if needed to thin out.
- Extra Creamy Icing - use heavy cream or coconut cream in place of the coconut (only coconut cream will make a dairy-free recipe)
- Lemon Glaze - use 4 tablespoons coconut milk and 4-6 tablespoons lemon juice, add 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- "On the Lighter Side" Keto Glaze - substitute hot water for the milk. Thin icings are nice for ketogenic Pound Cake, Lemon Poppy Seed Bread and Cinnamon Spice Bread (recipes from The Ultimate Guide to Low-Carb Baking)
- Cinnamon Sugar Glaze - thin to a glaze and sprinkle with a mixture of ground cinnamon and Golden Lakanto over the top while the icing is still wet
- Nutty Keto Glaze - make a glaze and add chopped pecans, walnuts or almonds over the top before it hardens

Notes
- Taste the sugar-free icing as you go, adjusting the level of sweetness according to your preference. Some sweeteners can have a strong aftertaste, so make sure to add gradually.
- Adjust the texture. Add sweetener to thicken or milk to thin the texture. The ideal texture for piping is like that of toothpaste.
- Make sure that all the ingredients are at room temperature, with the coconut oil softened before mixing.
- If you end up with a too-soft icing, place it in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to firm it up before piping or spreading.
