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: Not only can you create two types of coconut oil icing with this recipe, you can also make two different flavors! Simply swap dark or milk chocolate melting wafers to make chocolate coconut oil frosting. It’s such a versatile recipe!
Watch how it’s made!
The following is a quick video tutorial showing how to make our coconut oil frosting. We used chocolate chips in the video, but the process is the same whether you use white or dark chocolate.
How to store your coconut oil icing:
- 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.
TIP: “Magic” coconut oil frosting makes the perfect glaze for this Better-than-Starbucks Pumpkin Loaf. It’s SO moist and flavorful…and it’s gluten free!
