How to Make Vegan Chocolate Frosting

  1. In a small saucepan over very low heat, melt 1 cup of vegan chocolate chips (or vegan chocolate blocks chopped finely) and 2 tablespoons of grapeseed oil. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup agave nectar, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for 15 minutes to cool and slightly thicken.
  4. Remove from the refrigerator and beat the frosting with a hand mixer or stand mixer until light, fluffy, and thick (about 2-3 minutes). If using a hand mixer, you may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  5. Frost your favorite cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. Enjoy!
