Healthy Frosting Directions:
-
Melt the Coconut Oil:
Gently heat the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat until fully melted. Alternatively, microwave in short bursts, stirring in between to avoid overheating. -
Combine Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and cocoa powder until smooth and glossy. -
Incorporate Applesauce:
Gradually add the applesauce to the chocolate mixture, starting with 1 cup. Mix thoroughly, adjusting the amount for your desired consistency. -
Chill the Mixture:
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the frosting to thicken slightly. -
Adjust Consistency:
After chilling, check the texture. If too thick, add more applesauce or maple syrup. For a thicker frosting, mix in 1-2 tablespoons of coconut flour or cornstarch. -
Final Chill (if needed):
For a firmer texture, refrigerate longer until it reaches the desired consistency. -
Serve:
Use the frosting on cakes, cupcakes, or desserts. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes if refrigerated for easier spreading.
