- 1 cup chocolate melting wafers (white or dark)
Two ingredients! It doesn’t get any easier than that! You can create white chocolate or dark chocolate frosting depending on which type of chips you use. It’s such a versatile recipe!
Note: You can increase or decrease the quantity of this recipe to fit your needs, so long as you maintain the 50/50 ratio of ingredients.
How to make “magic” coconut oil frosting:
To make a glaze: Combine both ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second increments, stirring between intervals, until chocolate has melted. This creates a liquid glaze that can be poured over cakes and loaves or used for dipping muffins, donuts, etc. Refrigerating your glazed desserts will speed up the setting process.
To make fluffy frosting: Allow glaze to cool to room temperature and whip with a spoon or whisk until you have achieved your desired consistency.
Tip: Cover and store unused frosting at room temperature. You can whip to re-fluff, but you won’t be able to microwave back to a glaze.
