Keto Chocolate Ganache Recipe – How to make the best easy low carb sugar free chocolate frosting for cake and cupcakes desserts with the video.
Keto Chocolate Ganache Recipe
This keto chocolate ganache recipe makes a quick and easy frosting that’s low in net carbs and will please all chocolate lovers.
You can use the sugar-free ganache for frosting cakes like an indulgent chocolate cake (like this one) or to enjoy with a low carb friendly sweet treat, like as an indulgent dipping sauce for fresh raspberries or strawberries for a special day like Valentine’s Day.
Low Carb Frosting Ingredients
Here are the simple ingredients that you’ll need for this simple frosting:
Low Carb Chocolate – use an 85% or 90% chocolate bar or sugar-free chocolate chips so that the good ganache is keto friendly.
Unsalted Butter – he addition of butter provides a richness and texture to the ganache. You can feel free to swap the butter for coconut oil or cocoa butter if you’d prefer.
Stevia – use your low-carb sweetener of choice and as much as you’d like, depending on how sweet you want your chocolate ganache frosting to be.
Cream – only a little heavy cream is needed to bring creaminess, healthy fats and smooth texture to the frosting. You can swap the heavy whipping cream for coconut milk, almond milk or coconut cream if you’d prefer the chocolate sauce to be dairy free.
You can also add in a pinch of salt or half a teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the end result.
You’ll find that the longer you leave the cooked easy chocolate ganache to cool at room temperature, the thicker it will become.
You can also move the cooled, smooth ganache to a piping bag to swirl indulgently over your chosen sweet treat.
So, it really depends on how you’ll be enjoying the best chocolate treat, whether you use the thinner ganache straight away at pouring consistency or wait a little bit longer for a thick, indulgent chocolate frosting.
If you’d like to adjust the texture, simply add a little cocoa powder to thicken or a little more cream to thin to more of a pouring consistency over ketogenic diet treats for a special occasion like a keto chocolate cake.
