Are you looking for a buttercream frosting recipe that is sugar-free and low in carbs? You are in the right place. This recipe is Keto Chocolate Buttercream Frosting that is creamy and smooth, that is not too sweet.

This Keto Chocolate Buttercream Frosting is perfect to use as a finishing touch on all your keto cakes and cupcakes. I used this frosting on my Keto Chocolate Cake. I prefer to use powdered erythritol sweetener in this recipe. This buttercream is richer and more flavourful if using dutch cocoa powder. This Keto frosting can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days or in the freezer for 2 weeks.

How to Make Keto Chocolate Buttercream Frosting?

This is really easy and simple to make. Basically, you add the butter, confectioner’s sweetener and cocoa powder. Initially, mix on low speed for a minute just to combine, and then increase the speed to medium and mix for 5 minutes until light and fluffy. At this time, add the heavy cream, vanilla, and salt. Mix for another 2-3 minutes. If the frosting is to thin, just add more powdered sugar, and add heavy cream if it’s too thick.
