Ingredients
- 3/4 cup coconut cream chilled
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add the chilled coconut cream to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- Next, add the chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, until the chocolate is smooth and melted. Stir each time you check it to prevent the chocolate from burning on the bottom of the bowl.
- Add the melted chocolate to the coconut cream and whisk together until the mixture is smooth. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least two hours, to allow it to thicken.
- Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the firm frosting on medium to high speed until light and fluffy. Use as a frosting on cakes or brownies, or pipe onto cupcakes or muffins

Notes
- For the coconut cream: You can use a can of unsweetened coconut cream or full fat coconut milk. Simply open the can, remove the excess liquid and measure out 3/4 cup of the solid cream. For best results, do not shake the can before opening to help ensure that the firmer cream stays intact.
- To melt the chocolate: If preferred, rather than using the microwave, you can also melt the chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate) in a double boiler on the stove.
- To soften frosting: After refrigerating, allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes if it seems too firm to blend with the electric mixer. By allowing it to sit, it will make it easier to blend, ensuring a smoother consistency.
- Quantity: This icing recipe makes enough to frost about 16-20 regular sized cupcakes or one medium-sized 2-layer cake.
