The Fluffiest Dairy Free Vegan Chocolate Frosting Food

EASY DAIRY FREE CHOCOLATE FROSTING

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the room temperature butter until smooth.
• Add the cocoa powder and 1 cup of the powdered sugar and sift into the butter.
• Mix until mixture starts to come together.
• Sift another cup of the powdered sugar and mix until frosting looks stiff.
• Add 2 Tablespoons of milk and whip until smooth.
• If needed, add another Tablespoon of milk until the frosting is easy to spread.

THE FLUFFIEST DAIRY FREE VEGAN CHOCOLATE FROSTING

Steps:

• Using a stand or a hand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the coconut cream until fluffy and slightly increased in volume (about 2 minutes).
• Add 1/2 of the powdered/icing sugar and whip for about 2 minutes or until all sugar has been incorporated.
• Add the other 1/2 of the powdered/icing sugar and whip for about 5 minutes. The mixture should become fluffier and soft peaks should form when you lift the whisk.
• Add the cocoa powder and whisk for about 10 minutes or until stiff peaks form. The frosting will go from dark brown to pale chocolate brown as the mixture gets more fluffy.
• The dairy free chocolate frosting keeps well in a closed container in the fridge for about 3 - 4 days (but actually disappears within a day).

VERSATILE VEGAN CHOCOLATE FROSTING (DAIRY FREE, EGG FREE)

Steps:

• Using a stand mixer with paddle or whisk attachment, cream the margarine and shortening together.
• Add cocoa, powdered sugar and the liquids and mix slowly until incorporated; going too fast on this step is messy -- powdered sugar clouds and splatters -- go slow until you get those mixed in!
• Beat on high until fluffy. It usually takes 5-8 minutes of beating in the mixer for this to get super fluffy --- you will see the texture change and the color gets significantly lighter as well. If it doesn't lighten, it isn't ready.
• Variations: To vary the flavor, try different extracts: almond, peppermint, orange, rum, raspberry, etc. Try using orange juice or coffee instead of the milk. This chocolate base is really a great starting point to get a ton of gourmet flavor if you're up for it! ENJOY!
