This rich frosting is a delicious substitute for buttercream frosting, and it's a lot easier to make.

Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream
• Sweetener equivalent to 6 tablespoons sugar, or to taste
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• Pinch salt
• 1/2 cup or 1 small package Wise Choice Mousse Mix

   

Directions

Makes enough to frost 1 large cake.

1. Combine the cream and sweetener in a mixing bowl, set mixer to HIGH and whip until cream is doubled in volume and forms soft peaks.

2. Add cocoa, salt, and Wise Choice Mousse Mix. With mixer on MEDIUM setting, mix until ingredients are combined and the mixture thickens in texture and reduces in size.

3. Use immediately or refrigerate until needed. The longer it is refrigerated, the harder the frosting will be, so allow it to warm to reach desired spreading consistency.

4. Refrigerate frosted cake.

NOTE: You may want to prepare enough to frost a slice of cake as you go along. You can reduce the ingredients to 1/2 cup cream, sweetener equivalent to 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa, small pinch salt, and 2 tablespoons Wise Choice Mousse Mix.

Options: add flavoring to taste such as vanilla, coffee, orange, cherry, rum, etc.
