5 Minute Dairy Free Chocolate Frosting
This dairy free chocolate frosting is so sneakily decadent that you would never know it's dairy free! Made with plant based butter and milk, this vegan chocolate frosting is perfect to top over dairy free cupcakes or over dairy free brownies. The best part is that it only takes 5 minutes to make, and can pipe really well!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted vegan butter, Earth Balance, softened
- 3 cup powdered sugar
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp brewed coffee
- 1 tbsp coconut cream, add more if needed
Equipment
Instructions
- In the bowl of a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add in the 1 cup plant based butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, and ⅔ cup cocoa powder and mix on low speed moving up to medium as it mixes together. Whip on medium for 1-2 minutes.
- Stop and mix with a spatula. With the mixer on low add in the coffee if using, and the coconut cream starting with 1 tbsp at a time. Then mix on medium- high speed for 2 minutes.
At this point check the consistency- want it thicker? Add 1/4 cup powdered sugar and mix. Want it thinner? Add another 1-2 tsps and mix, then reassess.
Notes
My favorite brand of vegan butter is earth balance. I like to buy them int he baking sticks instead of the tub because they are pre measured
