Name: 5 Minute Vegan Chocolate Frosting
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 5 min
Yield: about ¾ to 1 cup
Ingredients: ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted if there are lumps; ¼ cup melted coconut oil; ¼ cup to ½ cup pure maple syrup (or honey for non vegans. However, I found maple syrup yields a better consistency)*; 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract; (optional) splash of unsweetened almond milk

Ingredients

¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted if there are lumps
¼ cup melted coconut oil
¼ cup to ½ cup pure maple syrup (or honey for non vegans. However, I found maple syrup yields a better consistency)*
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
(optional) splash of unsweetened almond milk

	PREP TIME 5m	TOTAL TIME 5m
YIELD about ¾ to 1 cup

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a small mixing bowl. Mix until everything comes together and you have a thick, rich frosting like consistency.
Taste and adjust as needed, add a little more maple syrup/honey if not sweet enough or more cocoa powder if too runny.
You can also stir in a splash of dairy free, unsweetened milk if you find the consistency to be too thick. A little goes a long way.
Spread onto cooled cupcakes, cookies, cakes, or sweet breads immediately.
Although the frosting does stay moist after frosted, I found it does kind of stiffen up and becomes harder to spread after a little while so use right away.
