Ingredients

3 cup almond flour
1 cup the ultimate icing sugar replacement by swerve
2 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon coarse kosher salt by morton
½ cup butter, salted
1 teaspoon ube extract by mccormick
2 large raw egg
½ cup almond milk
8 ounce cream cheese
¾ cup the ultimate icing sugar replacement by swerve
½ teaspoon ube extract by mccormick
1 tablespoon heavy cream

Instructions

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).
Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl. Add this to the dry ingredients along with 1 t ube extract and the eggs.
Mix slightly.
Heat the almond milk in a heatproof container until hot. Add to the batter and mix well to combine.
Scoop the batter evenly into the 12 cupcake liners.
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.
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.
Top each cupcake evenly with frosting and swirl to desired effect!
