Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cups Coconut cream (thick part from a can of coconut milk)
- 0.25 cups Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Sift the cocoa powder and powdered sugar into a large mixing bowl to remove any lumps. This ensures a smooth frosting texture.
In a separate small bowl, stir the coconut cream and melted coconut oil until well combined.
Add the coconut cream mixture, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt to the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl.
Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend everything together until the frosting is smooth, glossy, and fudge-like in texture. If it seems too thick, add a teaspoon of coconut cream at a time until your desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust for sweetness or cocoa intensity if desired (add more powdered sugar for sweetness or cocoa for a darker chocolate flavor).
Spread or pipe the frosting onto your cake, cupcakes, or cookies. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
