Ingredients
- ⅓ grams chocolate (60g)
- 2 tbsp peanut butter (40g)
- 3 tbsp cacao powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 3 tbsp almond milk
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Weigh chocolate and peanut butter in a medium size mixing bowl and microwave in 30 second increments until smooth.
- Add cacao powder, salt, maple syrup and almond milk to the bowl, combine well.
- Use a whisk to mix thoroughly until silky smooth, ensure there are no lumps left in the mixture.
- Spread easy chocolate icing over brownies, cakes or cupcakes.
Notes
- 1/3 cup or 60g chocolate is six squares of Lindt Excellence 70% dark chocolate. This is the exact chocolate I used to make easy chocolate frosting.
- Use any type of chocolate and milk of your choice for this recipe but if you want the frosting to be vegan friendly, I recommend using dark chocolate and almond milk.
- If the peanut butter you are using already contains salt, then omit salt from the recipe.
- Frosting will set/harden, once refrigerated.
