Vegan chocolate frosting that’s just as good as any frosting made with butter – if not BETTER! It’s super fudgy and gets rave reviews.

Vegan Chocolate Frosting

Frosting. It’s pretty much an essential part of every kid’s childhood, amiright? When my daughter was diagnosed as lactose intolerant last summer, frosting was one of the first things I started to tackle to make it dairy free. This decadent vegan chocolate frosting was the result!

I have a big family, which means a lot of birthday celebrations – and no kid wants to be left out when it comes to cake. The cake is essentially the 2nd best part of the birthday (PRESENTS!) if it’s yours, but the BEST part when you’re not the one opening all the new gifts.

I made a vanilla vegan frosting with my gluten free Funfetti cake, but chocolate is the clear favorite. First of all, more people seem to like chocolate than vanilla anyways. But this chocolate frosting is so good, I could make a dessert of it by itself. Just give me a spoon.

I also seem to make chocolate cake the most for birthdays, everyone’s all like – GIMMIE THE CHOCOLATE. But much nicer, really.

I recently made this frosting for a birthday cake I made for my uncle who was visiting. Nobody knew it wasn’t real buttercream until I told them. I love that – being like “surprise, it’s vegan!” or “surprise, it’s gluten free!” and everyone’s all like, “no way!” and I’m all like, “yes way!” because we all talk like Valley Girls. Except we don’t. Ok, maybe sometimes.

Anyways – vegan chocolate frosting.

I used this same chocolate frosting for my mini chocolate layer cakes – the cutest little cakes that I baked in ramekins. You can double this frosting, or cut it in half if you’re not making a lot of cakes or cupcakes. Or go for (at least) the whole batch no matter what you’re making. You won’t regret having extra frosting. Extra frosting is never a bad thing.

This frosting is great with chocolate cake (obviously), vanilla/white cake, yellow cake, sugar cookies, with a spoon, or piped directly into your mouth. For that chocolate on chocolate love, try this frosting on some Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes – it’s perfection! Enjoy!
