Sugar-Free Frosting
This is a creamy, buttery, sweet frosting that you can use on cupcakes or cakes. You could even play around with different flavors in place of the vanilla used here. We love to add fun flavors like: strawberry extract, banana extract, and cocoa powder to make chocolate.
The recipe below will decorate 12 cupcakes, but if you choose to use this on a cake, you will want to double the recipe.
