Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Powdered erythritol (or another low-sugar alternative)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, sift the unsweetened cocoa powder to remove any lumps.
Add the softened unsalted butter to the bowl and beat with an electric mixer or whisk until creamy and smooth.
Gradually add the powdered erythritol into the mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition to avoid clumps.
Mix in the vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of milk. Continue beating the frosting until it becomes light and fluffy.
If the frosting is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of milk and mix again until desired consistency is reached.
Taste the frosting and adjust sweetness, if necessary, by adding a small amount of additional powdered erythritol.
Once fully mixed, use the frosting immediately to decorate your baked goods, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
