This Sugar Free Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting is perfect for your next
Sugar Free Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
Cream cheese frosting is such a popular choice.
However, chocolate cream cheese frosting is delicious to eat as well.
I like that this frosting is so easy to make.
Also, this frosting adds a great taste to what ever you may decide to put it on.
I would pair this frosting with a cake or cupcake that has not a lot of flavor in itself. However, you can pair it with what works best for you.
Cream cheese adds a bit of tartness to this frosting.
But, that tartness is easily balanced thanks to the sugar alternative that is used. You will need a sugar free powdered sugar for this recipe. You can make your own sugar free powdered sugar using this recipe or you can buy sugar free powdered sugar already made online.
