Ingredients
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cups Plant-based butter (softened, not melted)
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the cocoa powder and powdered sugar to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth frosting.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened plant-based butter using a handheld mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually add the sifted cocoa powder and powdered sugar mixture to the creamed butter, mixing at low speed to avoid splattering. Increase to medium speed once incorporated.
Step 4
Add the plant-based milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. You can add an additional tablespoon of milk if the frosting feels too thick.
Step 5
Mix in the vanilla extract and salt to enhance the flavor, beating at medium speed until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Taste the frosting and adjust sweetness or texture as needed by adding a small amount of powdered sugar or plant-based milk.
Step 7
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts, or cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature and rewhip before using if refrigerated.
