How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 350 F. Prepare a cupcake tin by filling it with 12 cupcake liners. Combine the dry ingredients together (almond flour, 1 cup Swerve, baking powder and kosher salt).
Step 2
Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl. Add this to the dry ingredients along with 1 t ube extract and the eggs.
Step 3
Mix slightly.
Step 4
Heat the almond milk in a heatproof container until hot. Add to the batter and mix well to combine.
Step 5
Scoop the batter evenly into the 12 cupcake liners.
Step 6
Bake for 25-27 minutes until the cupcakes are puffed, cooked through a slightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the cupcake tin until completely cooled. Allow to cool before frosting.
Step 7
In the meantime, combine room temperature cream cheese, the remaining Swerve, ½ t ube extract, a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of heavy cream in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix for 3-5 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy. Place in the fridge until ready to use.
Step 8
Top each cupcake evenly with frosting and swirl to desired effect!
