Ingredients
Cupcakes
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup Granulated Erythritol
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups fine almond flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Frosting
- 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
- 9 ounces Lily's dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Granulated Erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, granulated erythritol, heavy cream, and vanilla with a fork. Mix in the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to portion out the batter into the cupcake liners. I use 2 level scoops (about 3 tablespoons) of batter total per cup.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick comes clean from the center. Remove from the oven and transfer the cupcakes to a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting. (see note)
Cup of Yum
Frosting
- Add the heavy cream, chocolate chips, erythritol, vanilla, and salt to a large bowl. Microwave on 30-second intervals, stirring between each one, until a rich ganache forms.
- Transfer the ganache to the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour.
- Add the chilled ganache to a stand mixer bowl or use a hand mixer to beat the ganache until it's light and fluffy, scraping down the bowls as needed. This will take about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Transfer the whipped ganache to a piping bag fitted with a piping tip and pipe onto the cooled cupcakes. Store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
Notes
- erythritol and dark chocolate chips
- The carbs listed for each cupcake with frosting is 36 grams. After subtracting the sugar alcohols and dietary fibers from the erythritol and dark chocolate chips, each cupcake has a net carb amount of 14.4 grams.
- I like to start making the frosting while the cupcakes are baking. Then by the time I'm done chilling and whipping the frosting, the cupcakes are cooled enough to frost.
