Vanilla Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting »

Vegan Chocolate Frosting

This is my all time favorite icing recipe. Lately, I’ve been using it to frost cakes, cupcakes, and also as a filling between chocolate wafers. My son loves this double chocolate treat –chocolate wafers with chocolate frosting– packed in his school lunch.

I promise, I’ll put chocolate wafers up here on the boards soon. That recipe just needs a few more rounds of testing until it is ready for public consumption!

Vegan Chocolate Frosting
1 cup dagoba chocodrops
½ cup grapeseed oil
2 tablespoons agave nectar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
pinch celtic sea salt

  1. In a small saucepan over very low heat, melt chocodrops and grapeseed oil
  2. Stir in agave, vanilla and salt
  3. Place frosting in freezer for 15 minutes to cool
  4. Remove from freezer and whip frosting with a hand blender until it is thick and fluffy
  5. Frost over cake, cupcakes or between cookies

This gluten-free, dairy-free, rich and creamy chocolate icing will fool all of the junk food junkies, dairy-lovers and gluten gluttons in your life –they won’t have a clue that they’re eating on your meal plan. Go ahead, see for yourself.


Never miss a recipe!

    Can you recommend any alternative to the dagoba chocodrops? My daughter just can’t tolerate the cane sugar, even the unrefined organic stuff. It gives her heart palpitations. I do have some Girardelli(sp) unsweetened chocolate. I suppose I could try that and add additional agave? She can tolerate agave and honey…but not stevia either, isn’t that strange? I wonder how many ounces of chocolate would equal a cup of chocolate chips.

    Kathleen,

    I cannot recommend a substitute as I only use dagoba chocodrops in my recipes. I’m not sure what the results would yield if you used something else.

    If you decide to experiment, please let us know. You can share you experience by posting in the forums.

    Hopefully you can find an alternative that works for her.

    Thank you for stopping by!

    I tried this with a cane sugar free chocolate (cant remember the name, threw away the wrapper) chopped to roughly the size of chocolate drops and used a cup of that, it turned out well. My friend tried this recipe with another type of chocolate (have not seen the dagoba brand here in Iceland) that contains cane sugar and that worked as well.
