Dairy Free Chocolate Frosting
This dairy free chocolate frosting recipe makes a fluffy frosting with a great taste. You will not be able to tell that it is dairy free.
Servings: 2 cups
Cost: $8
Ingredients
- 1 cup dairy free butter at room temperature
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons dairy free heavy whipping cream (I love So Delicious brand)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 drop almond extract (optional but delicious)
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Beat butter on high for 2 minutes in a stand mixer with whisk attachment, making sure to scrape down sides as needed
- Add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, pinch of salt, vanilla extract and almond extract (if using) and mix on high for 30 seconds then scrape down sides
- Add dairy free heavy whipping cream and beat another 2 minutes until everything is incorporated, fluffy and smooth (you will need to scrape down the sides in between mixing)
Notes
Storing - Store the frosting in an airtight container in the fridge. It will last up to a week.
You will know if the frosting has gone bad if the frosting smells bad or turns a darker color. It never hurts to check the frosting before you eat it.
Freezing - You can absolutely freeze frosting. We recommend storing the frosting in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month.
When ready to use the frosting, let it thaw in the fridge overnight. That way, the frosting will defrost slowly, keeping the flavor and texture of the frosting the way it should be.
