For low-FODMAP Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 1 (8-oz.) package lactose-free cream cheese, softened and chopped into chunks
- 1 cup (2 sticks, 16 tbsp) butter or low-FODMAP vegan margarine; softened and chopped into chunks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup low-FODMAP strawberry coulis, prepared (or substitute strawberry preserves without high fructose corn syrup)
- 2 & 1/2 to 3 & 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar (depending on your desired consistency and your cream cheese you may need more or less sugar)
For Low-FODMAP Chocolate Cake:
- 1 Happy Baking low-FODMAP Chocolate Layer Cake, prepared per directions and cooled

Directions
For low-FODMAP Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting
- Using the flat paddle attachment of your stand mixer, beat the butter or low-FODMAP vegan spread and lactose-free cream cheese until creamy
- Add the strawberry coulis and vanilla, and beat until combined
- It may seem a bit clumpy at this point, don’t worry it will smooth out with the sugar addition
- Slowly add in the confectioner’s sugar until well creamed, and smooth, scraping down the bowl as necessary
- For a soft, spreadable frosting you may only need 2.5 cups sugar, but if you want to pipe your frosting it will need to be a bit thicker
- Spread, or pipe over your preferred dessert, or prep with the layer chocolate cake as per below!
To decorate low-FODMAP Happy Baking Chocolate Cake:
- When cake is cooled, frost layers and middle as desired, then chill in your fridge prior to adding the ganache
- Spread and drizzle slightly cooled low-FODMAP Chocolate Ganache over top and garnish with fresh strawberries or chocolate strawberries
- Refrigerate if not serving immediately, allow to come to room temperature for best flavor
