Using a hand mixer in a bowl, beat the butter for about 1 minute, until fluffy.

Beat in the cocoa powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract, starting at low speed and increasing to high once it gets incorporated. Beat for 30 seconds on high.

Beat in heavy cream. (You can add more to thin out as needed.) Start low, then beat for 30 seconds on high again, until smooth and fluffy.
