What you need to make “magic” chocolate coconut oil frosting:
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup dark chocolate melting wafers
Two ingredients! It doesn’t get any easier than that!
You can also create “magic” white chocolate coconut oil frosting with the same technique. 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” chocolate coconut oil frosting:
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 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.
