In the past, I have recommended using my Avocado Dairy Free Chocolate Ganache as dairy free chocolate frosting. Today, I share a different recipe that I think you will really enjoy.
You can make gluten free dairy free chocolate frosting using just coconut milk, but I think you’ll enjoy this recipe using coconut oil as an added ingredient. It provides a smoother texture that I think you’ll appreciate.
This recipe is available to everyone.
For the gluten free mocha cupcakes pictured, make the Gluten Free Dairy Free Chocolate Cake Recipe, which is available to members, but add 1 tablespoon of instant gluten free coffee. It turns it into a moist devil’s food cake.
