Ingredients

  • 2 avocados
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 6-8 tbsp pure maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 oz chocolate chips (optional for richer flavor)

Instructions

  • Be sure to use soft, ripe avocados. Discard the peels and pits. Carefully melt the chocolate chips, if using. Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender until completely smooth. Because of the lack of preservatives, it's best to make up a batch of this avocado frosting right before you plan to use it. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days.
