Sharing is caring!

A healthier alternative to store-bought icing, this luscious chocolate coconut oil frosting requires only two ingredients!

Frosting that’s actually good for you? Sounds like dream come true to me!!

Chocolate Coconut Oil Frosting

It’s like magic!

This chocolate coconut oil frosting recipe creates two completely different types of frosting — with the same batch:

1. Smooth glaze perfect for donuts or cookies
2. Rich, fluffy frosting for cakes and cupcakes

Make either, or both!

The best part is that you get all the health benefits of coconut oil, and none of the trans fats found in some packaged frostings.

Plus, dark chocolate actually provides many health benefits:

• Lowers blood pressure
• Provides antioxidants that help your body fight free radicals
• May lower risk of heart disease

So enjoy a spoonful of our coconut oil chocolate frosting (or two)…to your health!

Chocolate coconut oil frosting ingredients

• 1 cup coconut oil
• 1 cup dark chocolate melting wafers

Two ingredients! It doesn’t get any easier than that!

TIP: 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 Coconut Oil Chocolate Frosting

Use the same batch of frosting ingredients to create two different icing consistencies, depending on the dessert you’re making.

To make a glaze

Combine both ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl. Start by microwaving for 30 seconds. Stir. Continue microwaving 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. You can put frosting in the fridge for about an hour to cool frosting faster.

Pro tips:

• Cover and store unused frosting at room temperature. You can whip your coconut oil icing to re-fluff, but you won’t be able to microwave back to a glaze.
• Use a hand mixer for perfectly fluffy frosting that’s easier on your arm muscles.
• You can also create “magic” white chocolate coconut oil frosting with the same technique. It’s such a versatile recipe!
