Ingredients

    2 cups almond flour
    1/4 cup cocoa powder
    1/4 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
    1/2 tsp. kosher salt
    1 tsp. baking powder
    1/2 cup Swerve
    1/2 cup canned coconut milk
    1/4 cup water
    2 large eggs
    1 T. vanilla extract

    1/2 cup canned coconut milk
    2 large egg yolks
    1/4 cup butter
    1 tsp. vanilla extract
    1/2 cup Swerve
    1 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place 12 cupcake liners into cupcake pans.

In a medium mixing bowl, mix almond flour, cocoa powder, 1/4 cup coconut, salt, baking powder, and 1/2 cup Swerve. In a separate bowl, combine eggs, 1/2 cup coconut milk, water, and 1 T. vanilla extract.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Divide the batter evenly among the cups, just less than 1/4 cup of batter each.

Bake for 18 minutes. Cool on a rack while making frosting.

In a small saucepan, mix 1/2 cup coconut milk, egg yolks, butter, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup Swerve. Heat over medium, stirring constantly.

Bring to a low boil, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5 to 10 minutes.

Remove from heat, stir in coconut, and allow to cool almost to room temperature.

Frost cupcakes while frosting is just slightly warm.

Nutritional information does not include sweetener.
