Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This vegan chocolate morsels frosting recipe offers a host of benefits that make it stand out from typical frostings:

• Rich and Creamy: Thanks to coconut cream and vegan butter, the texture is silky smooth and perfect for spreading or piping.
• Chocolatey Delight: Semi-sweet vegan chocolate morsels melt into the frosting, providing bursts of chocolate flavor and a slightly chunky texture.
• Easy and Quick: With just a few staple ingredients, you can have this frosting ready in under 15 minutes.
• Versatile: Use it on cakes, cupcakes, cookies, or even as a dip for fruit or vegan brownies.
• Allergen-Friendly: Free from dairy, eggs, and refined sugars, this frosting suits many dietary needs.

Ingredients

• 1 cup vegan butter, softened (such as Earth Balance)
• 1/2 cup coconut cream (the thick part from a chilled can of full-fat coconut milk)
• 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup vegan semi-sweet chocolate morsels
• Pinch of salt

Equipment

• Mixing bowl (preferably large)
• Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
• Spatula
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Sifter for powdered sugar
• Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler (for melting chocolate morsels)

Instructions

1. Prepare your chocolate morsels: Place the vegan chocolate morsels in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until about 3/4 of the morsels are melted but some chunks remain. This ensures a delightful texture in your frosting. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. Beat the vegan butter: In your mixing bowl, beat the softened vegan butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add coconut cream and vanilla: Slowly add the coconut cream and vanilla extract to the butter. Continue beating until fully combined and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
4. Incorporate powdered sugar: Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, mixing on low speed to avoid a sugar cloud. Once all sugar is added, beat on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes until light and creamy.
5. Fold in the chocolate morsels: Using a spatula, gently fold the melted chocolate morsels into the frosting. The mixture should have swirls of chocolate and some morsel texture.
6. Adjust consistency: If your frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of coconut cream at a time until desired consistency is reached. If too thin, add a little more powdered sugar.
7. Chill before use: Place the frosting in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to firm up slightly before frosting your cake or cupcakes.

Tips & Variations

For the best coconut cream, refrigerate a can of full-fat coconut milk overnight and scoop out the thick cream that rises to the top.

• Make it mocha: Add 1 tablespoon of instant coffee granules dissolved in 1 teaspoon hot water for a mocha twist.
• Nutty crunch: Mix in 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans or walnuts for added texture.
• Chocolate chips swap: Use vegan mini chocolate chips instead of morsels for a smoother bite.
• Sweetener alternatives: If you prefer less refined sugar, try coconut sugar powdered in a blender, but note the frosting color and texture will change slightly.
• Storage: Keep leftover frosting in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before use.
