Whipped Cocoa Frosting

Just a quick update for those of you who NEED your chocolate fix during the Nutrition Challenge...

I recently made those Yummy Mocha Chocolate Cupcakes again, but this time I changed it up a bit..
Tried Heavy Whipping cream with a Tablespoon of Organic Pure Maple Syrup and some Dark Cocoa Powder and a sprinkling of Amberlyn Dark Chocolate.... Let's just say the results where.... well, you judge for yourselves based on the photo of Jeff and Michelle's faces as they ate, not just one, but several!!

The cupcake recipe can be found right here on my blog: Mocha Chocolate Cupcakes

To make the Whipped Cream topping, pour some heavy whipping cream (organic of course) into a mixing bowl (I don't measure, but to top 24 small cupcakes I would say 2 cups would be good),
add approx. 1 tablespoon of Maple syrup (organic and pure.. NO Mrs. Butterworths!!), add approx. 1/4 cup (or to taste) of Dark Cocoa Powder... Mix with handheld mixer until liquid turns to whipping cream consistency..
Hint: Refrigerate whipped frosting for a bit before icing the cupcakes.

Grate a small chunk of Amberlyn (paleo friendly) dark chocolate and sprinkle the tops of the cupcakes.

Enjoy!!!!

Please Note:  Moderation is the key!  When using chocolate please keep in mind that the purer and darker the chocolate the more "paleo" it's considered... Milk chocolate and White chocolate aren't allowed...  If anyone out there has an issue with using chocolate while eating paleo, please understand we all have our "allowances" and exceptions, as few people are 100%, absolute strict paleo hunting and gathering our own foods from the wild... most of us have to hunt and gather fighting off the crowds in the aisles of Trader Joe's and Whole foods, etc...
