Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smooth blending. Line a clean workspace with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, soften the coconut oil by gently warming it until it becomes liquid but not hot. Use a microwave in 10-second intervals or a double boiler method.
- Add almond butter to the softened coconut oil and whisk thoroughly until completely combined and smooth, creating a creamy base.
- Sift the powdered sugar gradually into the mixture, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Mix until the texture becomes light and fluffy.
- Pour in the vanilla extract and mix well, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the frosting.
- Gently fold in the vegan chocolate chips, distributing them evenly without overmixing.
- Transfer the frosting to an airtight container or piping bag. For best consistency, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow it to set slightly.
- Use immediately as a frosting or dip, or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow to soften at room temperature before serving.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Always ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest, most consistent texture.
- Soften Coconut Oil Carefully: Use short microwave bursts or a double boiler to prevent overheating, which can separate the mixture.
- Sift Your Powdered Sugar: This prevents lumps and ensures a silky-smooth frosting.
- Fold Chocolate Chips Gently: Mix them in carefully to distribute evenly without breaking them.
- Chilling Matters: A quick 15-20 minute refrigeration helps the frosting set to the perfect consistency.
- Storage Hack: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Always let it soften at room temperature before serving for the best texture.
- Versatility Tip: Use as a frosting, dip, or even a decadent spread on toast or fruit!
