I threw this sugar-free recipe together as a glaze for a cake I was making, but wanted it to be versatile enough to be used as a frosting, or as a dipping glaze for donuts. By adding the hot water at the end you can thin it out to exactly the viscosity you need.
Keto Chocolate Glaze/Frosting for Cakes, Donuts and Pastries Recipe
- 1 oz unsweetened baker’s chocolate, chopped into smaller pieces
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (*Use homemade vegan butter to make it vegan.)
- ½ cup erithrytol, powdered in a spice/coffee grinder
- ⅛ teaspoon espresso powder, Turkish coffee powder (*my favourite), or instant coffee
- 1-3 tablespoons hot water
- Vanilla-flavoured liquid stevia, to taste
Ingredients:
Put chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 15-second intervals on high, stirring between each until fully melted.
Stir in erithrytol and liquid stevia, then ad enough hot water to achieve a smooth consistency. Cool slightly. Drizzle or spread your frosting over your keto cake or pastries. Store unused portions in the fridge.
