Ingredients

Ingredients:1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted organic butter, softened, OR 7 tablespoons nonhydrogenated shortening1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon erythritol, powdered, OR 1/4 cup xylitol, powdered5-6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder2 tablespoons half and half OR coconut milk1 teaspoon pure vanilla extractPinch of sea saltGood-tasting pure stevia extract, to tasteOptional addition for a glossy finish:1 fresh organic egg yolk

Directions

Preparation:
Cream the butter in a small bowl until fluffy. Powder erythritol or xylitol in a coffee grinder or Magic Bullet for a minute or two, until extremely fine in texture (reminiscent of powdered sugar). Let sweetener settle in grinder before opening the top. Stir powdered sweetener into butter with a spatula, then beat until smooth. Slowly blend in the cocoa powder (unless you want to redecorate your kitchen), vanilla, and sea salt. Beat in the half and half and egg yolk, if using. Add stevia, starting with 1/16 teaspoon. You'll probably use less than 1/4 teaspoon. Just keep tasting and adjust sweetness to your liking.
