Healthy Chocolate Frosting
This Healthy Chocolate Frosting is rich, creamy, and guilt-free! Perfect for cakes, fruits, or enjoying by the spoonful.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter, or allergy-friendly substitute)
- 4-6 tablespoons pure maple syrup, honey, or agave
- 1/4 cup regular or Dutch cocoa powder
- 4-5 tablespoons milk of choice (to achieve desired consistency)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (for flavor enhancement)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the almond butter (or your chosen nut butter), pure maple syrup (or honey/agave), cocoa powder, and vanilla extract.
- Using a whisk or electric mixer, blend the ingredients together until they are fully incorporated and smooth. If the mixture feels too thick, slowly incorporate the milk of choice, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Give your frosting a taste. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more maple syrup, honey, or agave. If you want a richer chocolate flavor, stir in an extra tablespoon of cocoa powder.
