Simple 3-ingredient vegan chocolate frosting - ideal for cupcakes, layer cakes, and more!
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips (10 ounces)
  • 3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups gluten-free powdered sugar
Instructions:
  • Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring vigorously each time until mostly melted with some solid pieces remaining. Alternatively, melt the chocolate over a double boiler until mostly melted. Once melted, stir until smooth. Let it cool for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Incorporate the coconut milk: Blend it gently into the chocolate using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment on low speed until the mixture is silky.
  • Add 1 1/4 cups of powdered sugar gradually into the mixture while using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Blend in the vanilla until smooth, aiming for a firm and spreadable, slightly soft texture. Set your mixer aside for the next step to save some cleanup later!
  • Chill the frosting by refrigerating it for 20 minutes in a bowl.
  • Check the texture: Take the frosting out of the refrigerator and quickly mix it with hand beaters. If it's still too loose or hard to pipe/spread, add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar at a time. No need to refrigerate after adding more sugar.
  • Store your frosted cake or cupcakes: Once frosted, baked goods can be stored for up to 2 days at room temperature when covered. The frosting can be stored for up to 5 days at room temperature or up to 7 days in the refrigerator when covered.
