If you are craving chocolate frosting in the middle of the day, this keto chocolate icing will be your go-to keto chocolate frosting.

Is Chocolate Frosting Keto?

Classic chocolate frosting is delicious, but it’s normally made with powdered sugar, regular milk, and regular cocoa powder.

These three ingredients alone are loaded with sugar, bringing more than 50 grams of net carbs per serving of classic chocolate frosting.

It’s therefore not keto-friendly at all!

This keto frosting recipe is not only low in carbs but it’s also a paleo frosting for cakes.

The sugar-free frosting recipe is made of 5 easy healthy wholesome ingredients approved for both diets.

• Grass-fed butter – a perfectly keto-friendly dairy product.
• Almond butter – salted or unsalted as you like. This replaces the heavy cream!
• Unsweetened cocoa powder
• Unsweetened almond milk – which has almost no carbs compared to regular milk.
• Chocolate stevia drops

Making The Keto Frosting

Making this keto frosting takes less than 10 minutes.

Start by adding the soft butter to a large mixing bowl.

Add the natural almond butter and use an electric beater to beat the mixture for about 30 to 40 seconds at a fast speed.

Stop the hand mixer to add the chocolate stevia drops, unsweetened cocoa powder, and unsweetened almond milk.

Beat the low-carb chocolate frosting again, but this time on a slow-speed setting because the cocoa powder is very volatile.

Adjust the texture of your frosting with almond milk if it’s too thick.

Taste the keto frosting for sweetness. If it’s not sweet enough, add a few more stevia drops.

Storage Instructions

This recipe makes many servings, 36 of them to be precise. And each serving represents 2 tablespoons.

You can store your keto chocolate icing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

But, you may not eat all this keto frosting recipe in 4 days so I recommend freezing your frosting in an ice cube tray.

Fill each ice cube tray with 2 tablespoons of frosting and freeze.

When your chocolate frosting craving is coming, defrost 1 ice cube, it will take just 1 hour to get soft at room temperature.

Another option is to thaw your snack the day before in the fridge.

Note that this recipe is not soft straight out of the fridge! It softens at room temperature as butter solidifies in the fridge.

Using Keto Frosting

There are many options to use this keto frosting.

First, on its own as a keto snack to reach your fat macros. In fact, 2 tablespoons of this healthy frosting will get you 10 grams of fat for only 100 kcal and 0.8 grams of net carbs!

It means this is the perfect healthy sweet keto snack.

Then, you can use this keto chocolate frosting recipe to decorate any keto desserts or birthday cake like my keto vanilla cake or keto chocolate cake.

It’s also delicious on top of a low-carb cookie like my 2-Ingredient Keto Cookies or my keto chocolate cupcakes.

Finally, you can use this frosting on top of a keto chocolate mug cake!

Instructions

• In a large mixing bowl, add the cubes of soft butter. Your butter must be very soft and out of the fridge for at least 3 hours. It is easier to first cut your cold butter into small cubes. Then, pack those cubes into a measuring cup. Finally, transfer the cubes of cold butter into a bowl and wait 3 hours at room temperature or overnight until soft.
• Add almond butter and with an electric beater, beat the butter, and almond butter until a light brown cream forms. It shouldn't take more than 40 seconds on the medium/high-speed setting.
• Stop the beater, add stevia drops, unsweetened cocoa powder, and unsweetened almond milk.
• Beat again at slow speed at first to prevent the cocoa powder from bursting out of the bowl, then increase to medium speed. If the frosting is too thick to your liking, add more almond milk (at room temperature, not cold!), 1 tablespoon at a time, beat, and add up to 1/4 cup extra milk until you reach your favorite texture. The more you add, the fluffier it will be. However, it won't affect your net carbs per serving very much (around 0.1g extra net carbs).
• Adjust stevia drops if the frosting is not sweet enough for you. Always add stevia 2 drops at a time as it is very strong in flavor. Otherwise, add powdered erythritol but note that this option thickens the frosting a lot!
• Serve as a snack, 2 tablespoons at a time, on top of a keto mug cake, or on its own as a fat bomb snack. You can also frost a keto birthday cake with this recipe.

Storage

• Store the frosting in the fridge in an airtight box for up to 4 days. The frosting gets hard in the fridge because the butter hardens at cold temperatures. Simply remove the frosting from the fridge for 3 hours to get it soft and creamy again.
• Freeze in ice cube tray, 2 tablespoons in each cube hole, and defrost at least 2 hours before, at room temperature to soften.
