Keto Cupcakes

You'll need:

1 single packet of Nourish & Thrive Keto Chocolate Cake Mix
4 eggs, at room temperature
4 tbsp coconut cream, at room temperature
120ml coconut oil, melted
1 tsp instant coffee - optional

Prepare the Keto Chocolate Cake Mix as per the instructions, and disperse evenly into a lined muffin tray with 12 muffins. Bake for 12-14 minutes. The less time in the oven, the fudgier they'll be. It doesn't matter if they collapse slightly as this will contribute to the fudge factor! Ensure once you remove them to cool, you allow them to sit for at least 30 minutes in their pan before removing. Allow to cool completely before frosting.

Keto Buttercream

You'll need:

1 cup butter, at room temperature OR Organic Sustainable Palm Shortening for dairy free (such as this one here)
1.5 cups Nourish & Thrive Powdered Erythritol
1/3 cup Cocoa Powder (unsweetened)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup coconut cream, at room temperature

Place butter or shortening in your stand mixer and using the whisk attachment, whip until light and fluffy (around 4-5 minutes). You can also do this using an electric beater. Add your powdered erythritol gradually, and with the last amount, add your cocoa too. Whisk on medium-high until well combined. Add your coconut cream and whisk once more. Finally add your vanilla and whisk until fully combined. Your buttercream is now ready to be piped or spread onto your keto cupcakes.

Enjoy the guilt free taste sensation - YUM!
