Instructions
- Cook the sweet potato using your preferred method. I include instructions above on how to microwave or roast a sweet potato.
- Remove and discard the sweet potato skin and mash the soft flesh into a sweet potato puree. Transfer to food processor or a high-speed blender. I find the former works better.
- Microwave the chocolate chips and butter (or coconut oil) in a large bowl for 20-second intervals, stirring well in between each interval, until melted and smooth, about 60 to 80 seconds total.
- Pour the melted chocolate and sea salt into the food processor with the cooked sweet potato.
- Process until a very smooth, thick frosting forms. You may need to stop the food processor several times to scrape the sides with a rubber spatula in order to get everything to blend evenly.
- Taste the sweet potato frosting for flavor and add more sea salt if desired.
- Use this easy chocolate frosting recipe on any kind of cake, cupcakes, brownies, or cookies.
- Store leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- *For dairy-free frosting (or vegan frosting), use dairy-free chocolate chips (or vegan chocolate chips) and coconut oil or full-fat coconut milk instead of butter.
- *For dairy-free frosting (or vegan frosting), use dairy-free chocolate chips (or vegan chocolate chips) and coconut oil or full-fat coconut milk instead of butter.
- For a refined sugar-free option, substitute ⅓ cup of cocoa powder and ⅓ cup of pure maple syrup for the chocolate chips.
