Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cups Coconut cream (chilled)
- 0.5 cups Dairy-free unsalted butter alternative (softened)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder and powdered sugar to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth frosting.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the dairy-free butter alternative on medium speed until it is fluffy and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Gradually add the sifted cocoa powder and powdered sugar into the butter, a little at a time, mixing well after each addition to combine.
Add the chilled coconut cream, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture, and beat on low speed until everything is fully incorporated.
Increase the mixer speed to medium and continue beating for an additional 2-3 minutes until the frosting is light, fluffy, and smooth.
Taste the frosting and adjust sweetness or salt balance if desired by adding small amounts of powdered sugar or a pinch of salt.
Use immediately to frost your favorite baked goods, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Allow the frosting to come to room temperature and re-whip before using if refrigerated.
