Ingredients
- 125 grams dairy free butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 ½ cup icing sugar
- ½ cup black cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons dairy free milk
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment fitted, beat dairy-free butter and vanilla for 1-2 minutes until creamy.
- Add in half of the icing sugar and beat on medium until combined. Add in the black cocoa powder and remaining icing sugar and continue to mix. As the mixture thickens, add in dairy free milk a tablespoon at a time until the frosting is thick and creamy. Add pinch of salt to taste.
- If the frosting is still too thick, add a little more of the dairy free milk until it reaches the right consistency.
- Store covered frosting in the fridge, or pipe directly onto cupcakes or cake.
