Keto Chocolate and Vanilla Frosting

This is a recipe for keto vanilla and chocolate frosting. I personally love any frosting and with this recipe, you can make either chocolate, vanilla, or both just by what you add to the recipe and still keep it keto.

Vanilla Frosting

Chocolate or Vanilla or Both?

If you want just vanilla, then you add vanilla extract and you’re done. If you want chocolate, omit the vanilla extract and add unsweetened cocoa powder to the frosting. Both ways are really delicious. This is the same frosting that is used for our Keto Half Moon Cookies . For that recipe, I use both chocolate and vanilla frosting on the same cookie and it is so good.

Frostings, Be Free To Be Yourself

Is this frosting a cream cheese frosting, a buttercream frosting, or a whipped cream frosting? Well, this frosting is a combination of all of the above. I didn’t want just one kind of frosting so I combined them. It is a soft frosting that is also sturdy. That is great for any cake, cookie, or cupcake you want to put it on. If it is too soft when you make it, just pop it into the refrigerator and it will thicken up. If you need it right away you can add a pinch of xanthan gum to make it thicker. I hope this becomes a go-to frosting for you just like it is for me.
