5 minute chocolate frosting

Serves: about ¾ to 1 cup

Ingredients

• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 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

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to a small mixing bowl. Mix until everything comes together and you have a thick, rich frosting like consistency.
2. Taste and adjust as needed, add a little more maple syrup/honey if not sweet enough or more cocoa powder if too runny.
3. 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.
4. 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
