Healthy Chocolate Frosting

This healthy chocolate frosting recipe has a deep chocolately fudge flavor. It’s low in sugar and fat, and is super thick and rich. This recipe is vegan, and is easily made a paleo chocolate frosting by subbing honey for the date syrup.

They are already silky smooth and creamy, and also pretty sweet, meaning less sugar would be needed. And instead of turning out a frosting with no nutritional value, this one packs fiber, vitamin A, and lots of other nutrients as well.

The result blew my mind! It’s such a delicious alternative to a traditional buttercream frosting. This recipe was used on my Chocolate Quinoa Cake, and when I offered it to a friend who is used to traditionally sweet desserts, I told her the cake and frosting were healthy and asked her to be honest with what she though. She said, “it tastes like chocolate cake. Good chocolate cake.” Mission accomplished!

INGREDIENTS :

• 3/4 cup sweet potato roasted and peeled, mashed
• 1/4 cup natural cocoa powder
• 6 tablespoons date syrup or sub honey (or 5 ounces of soaked dates*)
• 1/4 cup coconut oil or sub grapeseed oil**
• 1 teaspoon vanilla sub a scraped vanilla bean for paleo
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS :

1. Be sure your sweet potatoes are fully roasted and very soft.
2. The skin should easily press in or be sagging around your potato.
3. If your potatoes aren't roasted very soft, your frosting will not turn out as smooth and will have more of a sweet potato flavor.
4. Add the roasted sweet potato and cocoa powder into a food processor. Process to combine (it will ball up, and that's okay).
5. Add the date syrup (or honey), coconut oil (or grapeseed oil), vanilla and sea salt. Process again for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture is very smooth and glossy.
