How to Make Vegan Chocolate Frosting
If you’re looking for a delicious vegan chocolate frosting recipe, to use on your favorite cake, cupcakes, chocolate chip muffins, or even to just eat by itself; then keep reading for this recipe!
This chocolate frosting is a bit healthier than the frosting you would get from the store, or even non-vegan frosting recipes; as it has no dairy or hydrogenated oils (or butter), so it has less saturated fat and no trans fats! It does still have the powdered sugar, though. So, be sure not to give too much to your kids if they are sensitive to sugar!
Now, let’s learn how to make this rich and delicious chocolate frosting, so you can see for yourself, tastes like store bought frosting!

Let’s Make the Chocolate Frosting!!
To make the frosting; fill your mixing bowl with coconut cream, vanilla, and cocoa. Whisk those ingredients together and then slowly add in powdered sugar.
For the coconut cream, only use the cream, there may be some liquid on the bottom of the can, don’t use that bit!
Make sure your mixer stays on low, or 2; you don’t want the sugar to go everywhere! (When it happens once, you become very aware to not let it happen again!)
Next, melt the chocolate, either in a double boiler or in the microwave. Let cool, then mix it in with everything else.
I didn’t melt the chocolate chips all the way, so it tasted like it was chocolate chip chocolate frosting; up to you if you want that or just chocolate frosting. But, it should look like the picture below when it’s done.
Unfortunately, I don’t know how long this frosting lasts in the fridge for; it disappeared in two days in my fridge. It was also enough to frost 2 dozen cupcakes, plus a few spoonfuls to simply eat!
Make sure you cool your cupcakes before you frost them. If you don’t, the frosting will melt, and it tastes much better not melted!
