Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter softened to room temperature
  • 1.25 cups Swerve confectioners' sugar
  • 0.5 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 3-4 tablespoons almond milk or heavy cream
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In your mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and beat it with your mixer until it’s light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Gradually add in the Swerve confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder. Mix on low speed until combined.
  3. Add in 3 tablespoons of almond milk and the vanilla extract. Continue mixing until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
  4. Sprinkle in the salt and mix until it’s evenly distributed throughout the frosting. Taste it—this is your moment to adjust the sweetness if needed.
  5. Now that your Keto Chocolate Frosting is ready, use it to frost your favorite cakes, brownies, or cupcakes.

Notes

  • Always use softened butter for a smoother texture.
  • Mixing too long can cause the frosting to become too soft; stop mixing once it’s smooth and fluffy.
  • If your frosting is too runny, add a bit more cocoa powder or Swerve to thicken it up.
  • For a decorative finish, consider piping the frosting onto your desserts.
