Keto Chocolate Frosting (2 Ingredients)
Description
The recipe uses the solidified coconut cream portion from canned coconut milk, which provides a high-fat base essential for the frosting's creamy texture. Sugar-free chocolate chips are melted into the coconut cream in a microwave in small increments to avoid burning, producing a silky chocolate blend. After refrigerating for several hours, the mixture firms up and can be whipped into a light, airy frosting with a hand or stand mixer.
The result is a thick, rich frosting that holds its shape and complements keto desserts well. This frosting is best applied with a piping bag or knife for even coverage on cakes or cupcakes.
For best results, use only the thick part of the coconut milk, and keep leftovers refrigerated. The liquid part of the coconut milk can be repurposed elsewhere. Whipping beyond manual stirring ensures a fluffy consistency, and chilling time affects thickness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk the hardened part on top, full fat; canned
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips sugar free
Instructions
- First, open coconut milk cans. Scoop out the hardened part on top and set aside the liquid part.
- Add the hardened milk to a large microwave safe dish. Add in chocolate chips.
- Microwave in 30 second increments, stopping to stir between each increment. Microwave until completely smooth and creamy.
- Then, place bowl in fridge. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 4 hours. The longer it chills, the thicker it will be.
- After chilling, remove bowl from fridge. Use hand mixer to whip frosting until fluffy.
- Finally, transfer to piping bag or use knife to begin frosting cupcakes, cakes, cookies, and more.
Notes
- Use only the hardened coconut cream portion from canned coconut milk for best consistency.
- Microwave in short increments, stirring between each to prevent burning.
- Chill frosting for at least 2 hours; longer chilling yields a thicker texture.
- Whip the frosting with a mixer to achieve fluffiness; stirring by hand is insufficient.
- Store leftover frosting refrigerated and let thaw to spreadable consistency before use.
- The leftover coconut milk liquid can be used in smoothies or sauces.
