That's a lot of butter! I know people on low carb diets don't care how much fat is used usually, but some people watching sugars and calories do. I made a delicious chocolate icing based on one on the bag of Ghirardelli unsweetened cocoa (using Swerve confectioner's instead of regular confectioner's sugar) that called for way less butter.

Hi Elaine, It is a lot of butter! Definitely a decadent recipe more appropriate for the ketogenic crowd. You can always use less frosting per cupcake for a lower calorie count. We will keep an eye out for the Ghirardelli recipe. Thank you for visiting our website!

Wow, this frosting was perfect! I was skeptical at first with the long mixing time, but it produced such a lovely light and fluffy frosting. Definitely add the espresso powder for an extra richness. Thanks for the wonderful recipe. It is definitely a keeper!

Any suggestions on making this delicious frosting a little less tart? Maybe less cocoa and more sugar? Or just more sugar? Or anything else to have it more milk-chocolaty?
Swerve
Hi Mary, You can try omitting the espresso, and reducing the cocoa powder to 1/3 cup. Also, be sure to mix for a full ten minutes!
