Servings

Ingredients

2 ripe avocados med/large, peeled and pitted, 2 ½ small avocados
½ cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
½ cup maple syrup
2 Tbsp. coconut oil (melted coconut oil will give you a silkier texturebut un-melted works okay too)
½ tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 tsp. ground cinnamon optional

Instructions

Add avocado to a food processor fitted with an S blade and blend until smooth.
Add remaining ingredients and blend again until smooth. You may need to stop and scrape the sides with a spatula a couple of times. (Add the maple syrup on top of the cocoa powder to keep the dust down.)
Use immediately or store in fridge until ready to use. Frosting should be okay in the fridge for a couple of days.

Notes

The recipe makes about 2 cups of frosting. One serving is about 2.5 tbsp.
