Categories     Chocolate

Number Of Ingredients 5

.5 cup Unsweetened plain almond milk
1.25 Dairy-free dark or semisweet chocolate, chopped
.5 cup Vegan butter (Earth Balance, Soy Free), softened and cut into TBS pieces
1.75 cups Powdered Sugar, divided
1 teaspoon Vanilla

Steps:

  • Add almond milk to a mixing bowl and microwave for 1 minute. (Alternatively, heat in a saucepan until hardly simmering and then transfer back to mixing bowl.)
  • Immediately add chocolate to warm milk but don't touch for 2 minutes so it can melt.
  • Stir gently with a wooden spoon to incorporate, then add softened butter and cover. Let rest untouched for another 10 minutes to meld.
  • Use your mixer to beat the mixture together. Then add 1 cup powdered sugar and vanilla, mix again, and place in fridge to set for 20-30 minutes. You'll know it's ready when you tip it and it's slow to move.
  • Remove from fridge and beat again. If it's still too thin, add another 1/4 cup powdered sugar at a time and beat until light and fluffy. (As the recipe is written) I found that chilling for a total of 20 minutes and adding 1 3/4 cups total powdered sugar was perfect.
  • Perfect for cupcakes, cake and quick breads! Frosting keeps at room temperature for several days on baked goods, or in the fridge for up to a week, covered.
