Keto Chocolate Cocoa Frosting
Just because you’re Keto doesn’t mean you have to give up baking and cooking, if that’s what you enjoy. There are lots of desserts you can make on the Keto diet like cakes, cookies, cupcakes, and more. This Keto cocoa recipe makes a delicious chocolate frosting with 100% dark cocoa powder. This is healthier than flavoring the frosting with melted chocolate because the cocoa powder has fewer carbs per serving. Plus, your frosting will have a naturally high concentration of antioxidants. Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too? In fact, you can have your cake with extra frosting, thanks to this recipe!
Cocoa Powder VS Chocolate
Why do some people prefer cocoa powder over solid dark chocolate? Many chocolate bars that are not 100% dark will have dairy and sugar added, which include carbs. Cocoa powder, on the other hand, can be 100% dark without including those extra carbs.
How To Use Leftover Frosting
This chocolate cocoa frosting can be stored in your refrigerator for up to 48 hours, as long as it’s kept in airtight storage. To keep the frosting as fresh as possible, return any unused frosting to a stand mixer before you use it. Whip the frosting until it returns to its smooth and creamy consistency before decorating with it.

Step 1
Start by whipping cold heavy cream in a stand mixer until you have a stiff whipped cream. Transfer the whipped cream to a clean bowl and leave it aside in your refrigerator for now. Wipe your mixing bowl clean quickly, and change the whip attachment out for a paddle attachment. Mix butter at medium speed until it’s room temperature, soft, and creamy. Add softened cream cheese to the mixer, and blend the fats together until you have a super smooth and light mixture with the texture of frosting.Step 2
Blend powdered erythritol and cocoa powder into the frosting. Follow this with vanilla extract and liquid stevia drops. Once the frosting is mixed together, add the whipped cream from Step 1 back to the mixer. Blend all the ingredients at a high speed for several seconds until you have a light and airy chocolate frosting that is totally free of any lumps. You can refrigerate the frosting to firm it up or to use for a little later onStep 3
You can use the chocolate frosting to ice cakes, cupcakes, or sweetbreads. You can also dip berries and Keto cookies into the frosting. For decorating, fill either a piping bag or a small Ziploc bag with the corner cut off with the frosting. Pipe the frosting like you would other decorator’s icing. The chocolate frosting can be stored in an airtight container for up to 48 hours.
