Best Versatile Vegan Chocolate Frosting Dairy Free Egg Free Recipes

DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE FROSTING

Steps:

• In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the vegetable shortening until light and fluffy.
• Add the vanilla, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar.
• While mixing on medium speed, add the coconut milk or creamer slowly until all ingredients are combined, and the frosting is smooth.
• If the frosting is too thick, add more creamer 1 tablespoon at a time. If it's too runny, add more powdered sugar 1 tablespoon at a time.
• This frosting is ready to use once the cake has cooled completely.

VERSATILE VEGAN CHOCOLATE FROSTING (DAIRY FREE, EGG FREE)

Steps:

• Using a stand mixer with paddle or whisk attachment, cream the margarine and shortening together.
• Add cocoa, powdered sugar and the liquids and mix slowly until incorporated; going too fast on this step is messy -- powdered sugar clouds and splatters -- go slow until you get those mixed in!
• Beat on high until fluffy. It usually takes 5-8 minutes of beating in the mixer for this to get super fluffy --- you will see the texture change and the color gets significantly lighter as well. If it doesn't lighten, it isn't ready.
• Variations: To vary the flavor, try different extracts: almond, peppermint, orange, rum, raspberry, etc. Try using orange juice or coffee instead of the milk. This chocolate base is really a great starting point to get a ton of gourmet flavor if you're up for it! ENJOY!
