Directions
1
For the vanilla frosting:
Combine butter, 3/4 cup to 1 cup powdered sweetener, vanilla, and whipping cream into a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat ingredients for a minute into a creamy frosting. Taste to see if it's sweet enough, and add another 1/4 cup sweetener if desired. Add a pinch of salt if desired. If the mixture is too thick, you can add one teaspoon of cream at a time to desired thickness.
For the chocolate frosting:
Add in the cocoa powder, and mix it all together until creamy and combined.
