Chocolate Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Frosting - Low Carb

By sassy47

Ingredients

• For cupcakes:
• 8 oz unsweetened chocolate
• 1 1/2 cups sweetener
• 3 oz butter
• 5 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For frosting:
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup sweetener
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Line a standard muffin/cupcake pan with liners.
In a saucepan over low, melt butter and chocolate together.
Whip eggs using a mix at high speed. After 2-3 minutes, add sweetener a ¼ cup at a time while continuing to mix. Whip the mixture at high speed until the mixture thickens and lightens in color (3-5 minutes).
Combine chocolate and egg mixture, gently and slowly.
Divide the batter evenly between the cupcake liners and bake for about 15 minutes, or until a thin tooth pick inserted into the center of the largest cupcakes comes out clean. Let cool.
While the cupcakes are cooling start on frosting: using an electric mixer beat cream cheese, sweetener and vanilla extract. Beat on high until the frosting is well combined and becoming light and fluffly (2-3 minutes).
