Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Butter- 1/2 cup (1 stick softened to room temperature.)
Sugar Free Powdered Sugar- 3 cups. You can make this yourself using this recipe or buy sugar free powdered sugar online here.
Unsweetened Baking Chocolate-- 1 4 ounce bar. Melt this and use it at room temperature. Sometimes I will just put mine in sunshine and allow it to melt while I work. Be sure to put it on a plate or in a bowl if you decide to do this.
Vanilla extract (can sub in rum or other extract..- 2 teaspoons.)
Dairy- Milk (Buttercream, or Greek Yogurt- 3-4 tablespoons depending on desired thickness.)
How to make Sugar Free Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
By the way (if you are looking for more of a cocoa frosting, check out this recipe for sugar free cocoa buttercream frosting.)

Steps:

  • Start by whipping up your butter to make it fluffy. I use a whisk attachment on my mixer.
  • Add the sugar free powdered sugar to the butter. Switch to a paddle attachment or mix by hand using a spoon. Cream this together.
  • Stir in the chocolate and the vanilla extract.
  • When the chocolate appears to be blended in, add a tablespoon of your dairy. Whip this up and if your frosting seems to be too thick continue to add additional dairy, up to a 1 tablespoon at a time, until you have reached your desired texture. However, to thicken up a thin frosting, simply add additional sugar a teaspoon at a time.
  • This should frost an average sized cake depending the thickness of your frosting.

Provided by Brenda Bennett | Sugar Free Mom

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 tbsp butter (softened)
1 cup powdered Swerve sweetener or sugar free sub of choice
1 cup sugar free chocolate chips (I use Lily's Sweets brand)

Steps:

  • Add butter and Swerve to a stand mixer and blend on high until incorporated.
  • Melt chocolate chips in a microwaveable bowl for 30 seconds to 1 minute until melted.
  • Stir chips until smooth.
  • While stand mixer is on low speed, carefully pour melted chocolate chips into stand mixer.
  • Scrape down sides of mixing bowl then bend again until smooth.
  • Does not need refrigeration if using to frost that day. If you do refrigerate, it will need some time to come to room temperature in order to spread it smoothly. You could also microwave for a 30 seconds to a minute to soften if needed.
