Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cups Plant-based butter (softened, not melted)
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the cocoa powder and powdered sugar to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth frosting.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened plant-based butter using a handheld mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the sifted cocoa powder and powdered sugar mixture to the creamed butter, mixing at low speed to avoid splattering. Increase to medium speed once incorporated.
Add the plant-based milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. You can add an additional tablespoon of milk if the frosting feels too thick.
Mix in the vanilla extract and salt to enhance the flavor, beating at medium speed until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
Taste the frosting and adjust sweetness or texture as needed by adding a small amount of powdered sugar or plant-based milk.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts, or cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature and rewhip before using if refrigerated.
