Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Monk Fruit Zero Calorie Sweetener ((see NOTES below))
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, (melted and cooled (can use the Baker's or Ghirardelli 1-ounce squares))
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, (softened)
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon chocolate extract ((optional))
Steps
-
For the Monk Fruit Sweetener, if you add it to the frosting as-is... it will be too grainy in texture. Put four tablespoons of the Monk Fruit powder into a blender, and blend it into a powder. Then you will use THREE tablespoons of the powdered Monk Fruit for the frosting.
-
Melt the chocolate over low heat and then pour into a mixer bowl, let cool slightly.
-
Slowly whisk the cream into the cooled, melted chocolate. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed and add the butter, Monk Fruit Sweetener (powdered), cocoa powder, and extracts. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
-
The frosting at this point will be quite thin and easy to spread. If you wish to pipe it on in a decorative pattern, place it in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes to thicken it up a bit before putting into a piping bag.
