Ingredients

Vegan Chocolate Frosting

Sugar Free Chocolate Frosting (Keto Icing)

Instructions

  • Add the butter to a mixing bowl and beat over medium speed for up to a minute, until butter is creamy. 
  • Add the powdered sugar and beat on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add cocoa powder and beat again until combined.
  • Add one tablespoon plant-based creamer. Beat until combined. Add additional creamer one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Top your favorite cakes or cupcakes with this frosting.
  • Keep any unused chocolate frosting stored in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep up to 7 days if stored properly. Once it's chilled you will need to let it come to room temperature before spreading it over a cake. In fact, it might thicken as it chills so stir in a teaspoon or two of plant-based milk to get it back to a spreadable consistency.

Notes

Use sugar-free powdered sugar to make this into sugar-free keto icing. Swerve's statement on their site: "The ingredients in Swerve do not affect blood sugar, so the carbohydrates it contains are considered nonimpact." Therefore it shows zero net carbs. 
If you don't have vegan creamer, you can substitute creamy plant-based milk instead, like soy milk, cashew milk, or even pecan milk.
