Chocolate Icing
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut spread (where to buy coconut spread)
- 1/2 cup honey (where to buy raw honey)
- 1/8 cup cocoa (cacao) butter (where to buy organic cocoa butter)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (where to buy cocoa powder)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Gently heat the coconut spread in a small pot until you can easily mix it
- Remove the pot from the heat
- Add the cocoa butter and mix it with the coconut spread until it is melted (you may need to put it back on the heat briefly)
- Add the honey and vanilla and whisk it all together until it is well combined
- Work quickly as this has a tendency to separate
- Use the icing as soon as it is combined and then refrigerate to harden
Tips for Frosting cupcakes or any other cake
- Let cupcakes cool in the pan for a few minutes and then on a rack
- Apply the frosting with a spatula as evenly as possible when it is at room temperature — as it cools off, it may separate so work quickly
- Refrigerate the cupcakes for a hard frosting
