Ingredients

1 1/2 cups organic palm shortening or vegetable shortening at room temperature and softened
3/4 cup powdered erythritol or powdered sugar see notes
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
5 tablespoons arrowroot flour
4 tablespoons coconut flour
3 tablespoons coconut oil melted

Instructions

In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or using a large bowl and an electric hand mixer, add in palm shortening and powdered sugar. Mix on medium high until smooth throughout.
Add the rest of the ingredients except for the coconut oil and mix for about 1 minute.
Slowly drizzle in coconut oil while turning the mixing speed up to high. You may need a tablespoon more to reach your desired consistency depending on the other brands of products you have used, but I got the perfect texture with only 3 tablespoons.
Remove from the mixer and give everything a nice stir.

Notes

If using granular erythritol, be sure to run it through a food processor spice grinder first to get it nice and powdery.
