This is by far the BEST keto chocolate cream cheese frosting we’ve ever tasted! I tried numerous store-bought versions, but they didn't taste right. I perfected this chocolate frosting recipe to make the creamiest and light-as-air cream cheese frosting for all your low carb treats!
It is very low in carbs and so chocolatey that you’ll have a hard time believing it’s keto-friendly. I added a hint of vanilla, but you can modify the recipe by adding any flavoring that goes well with each recipe you are making.
It's also super versatile! Make your own flavors by adding peppermint, citrus, coffee, or caramel—there are unlimited options. This makes this recipe the perfect frosting base for all your cakes, biscuits, cupcakes, and pancakes.
I always use this keto chocolate frosting to frost my keto chocolate cake. It's rich, moist, buttery, and DELICIOUS!
