Ingredients
- ▢1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- ▢3 tablespoon maple syrup
- ▢1/2 cup cocoa powder I used dark cocoa powder
- ▢1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- ▢1 tablespoon coconut flour or corn starch
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine your coconut oil, sticky sweetener of choice and cocoa powder. Mix until a glossy liquid chocolate texture remains.
- Add your unsweetened applesauce. Start with 1 cup and depending on what texture you are after, increase.
- Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, to thicken slightly. If you need to use it immediately, add a tablespoon or two or coconut flour/cornstarch.
Notes
* For a thinner, drippy frosting, add more applesauce (or maple syrup).
** Alternatively, refrigerate longer to firm up.
TO STORE: Leftover frosting should always be stored in the refrigerator, covered. It will keep for at least 2 weeks, usually longer. Let it sit at room temperature before frosting.
TO FREEZE: Place frosting in a freezer friendly container and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
