Chocolate Vegan Frosting (No Powdered Sugar!)
Report
This vegan frosting is a healthy recipe made with just 3 main ingredients. It is naturally sweetened with fruit and dairy-free!

Ingredients
- 1 cup Medjool dates , pitted (8 ounces; 227 grams)
- 1 cup coconut cream (the solid part in a chilled can of full-fat coconut milk)
- 1/4 cup cacao powder , or more to taste (24 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- pinch of salt
- 1 to 3 tablespoons water , if needed for blending (you can use the liquid leftover from the coconut milk can)
Instructions
- First, melt the coconut cream so that it's liquid. (You want the cream chilled solid first so that you can separate it from the liquid in a can of coconut milk, but then you want to melt it so that it's liquid in the blender.) I melt the coconut cream using a double boiler, but you can most likely use a microwave to do this, if you prefer.
- Add in the melted coconut cream, dates, cacao powder, vanilla, and salt to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until silky smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides of the machine to keep everything moving, or use a tamper for the blender if you have one.
- Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water, if needed to help thin out the frosting and ensure that the dates are completely broken down. I use some of the remaining liquid from the can of coconut milk, but water will work, too. For a sweeter frosting, you can use maple syrup as the liquid, instead. Be sure to taste as you go and adjust the flavor to your liking.
- Transfer the blended frosting to an airtight storage container and let it set in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight. It will thicken as it chills, and then you can use it to frost your favorite cake or cupcakes.
- This frosting can be stored in the fridge for up to a week, or you can freeze it for up to 3 months. (It turns into a thick ice cream when you freeze it!)

Notes
- For the liquid, I usually use the liquid leftover from the can of coconut milk that I already opened. You can also use maple syrup for a sweeter result, or just plain water to help facilitate blending.
