Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) dairy-free margarine, softened
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1/8 teaspoon of salt, or a couple pinches.
- 1 cup cocoa powder (I use Nestle)
- 5 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup dairy-free milk( more if needed)
Instructions
- Cream the margarine and shortening until fluffy.
- Add the salt and cocoa powder.
- Add the powdered sugar slowly. You can add a little of the dairy-free milk as you are trying to mix in all the powdered sugar if things get too thick.
- Once all the powdered sugar is mixed in, you can start adding dairy-free milk until you get the frosting thickness you want. Sometimes I like it dense, sometimes I like it fluffy and mousse-like.
Notes
I used Silk Coconut Milk, Blue Bonnet Lactose Free and Spectrum Palm Oil Shortening for my milk and margarine/shortening options in this recipe.
