Makes enough to thickly cover one layer, or fill and frost a halved stacked layer
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted organic butter, softened, OR 7 tablespoons nonhydrogenated shortening
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon erythritol, powdered, OR 1/4 cup xylitol, powdered
- 5-6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons half and half OR coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Good-tasting pure stevia extract, to taste
- Optional addition for a glossy finish: 1 fresh organic egg yolk
Method
- Cream the butter in a small bowl until fluffy. Powder erythritol or xylitol in a coffee grinder or Magic Bullet for a minute or two, until extremely fine in texture (reminiscent of powdered sugar). Let sweetener settle in grinder before opening the top. Stir powdered sweetener into butter with a spatula, then beat until smooth. Slowly blend in the cocoa powder (unless you want to redecorate your kitchen), vanilla, and sea salt. Beat in the half and half and egg yolk, if using. Add stevia, starting with 1/16 teaspoon. You'll probably use less than 1/4 teaspoon. Just keep tasting and adjust sweetness to your liking.
This frosted with the Healthy Flourless Chocolate Cake was easily the most disgusting thing I have ever made. Most of the fault was in the cake part of the recipe. We didn’t even eat one full slice of the whole cake.
