    Keto Chocolate

    This glorious frosting is made with sugar-free chocolate options. First we add cocoa powder. Make sure you get 100% unsweetened cocoa powder. Other cocoa powders may be sweetened with sugar, so you want to avoid those.Next we melt down some sugar-free chocolate and whip that into the keto frosting. The chocolate I like to use is by ChocZero. Their chocolate is sugar alcohol free too and it’s the best tasting keto chocolate out there. You could also use 100% unsweetened chocolate here too like a Baker’s chocolate if you can’t get your hands on keto chocolate.three cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting decorated with sugar free sprinkles and a piping bag near

    • Butter needs to be at room temperature to ensure a creamy frosting
    • Heavy whipping cream is ideal for making creamy frosting. You can substitute with a nut milk but it won’t be as creamy
    • Sift the cocoa powder to avoid any lumps in the frosting
    • Beat the butter for several minutes to achieve the fluffiest, creamiest keto frosting

    1. This was really easy and tastes great. I actually forgot to add the sweetener to begin with and still thought it tasted good! I added some and admit it is better with, but if you don’t have a particularly sweet tooth you could get away with less sweetener. Will definitely make this again, thanks for the recipe!
