Easy Vegan Chocolate Frosting

From Wayfaring Chocolate, I was dying to give this a shot all week...and was glad I did! It makes enough to frost an 8 x 8 cake or pan of brownies, or 10-12 cupcakes.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 12
• Yields: 12

Ingredients

• 1  large Hass avocado
• 1⁄4 cup maple syrup (or agave, but maple makes it ZOMG delish)
• 3  tablespoons cocoa powder
• 2  teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1  pinch salt

Directions

1. Peel and husk out the center of the avocado, then plop it into a food processor. Pulse 2-3 times to mush it up a little.
2. Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and just a pinch of salt and process until smooth.
3. You can also double this recipe by just doubling everything using 2 avocadoes, or, doubling the syrup, cocoa powder, and vanilla and using just 1 gigantor greenskin avocado.
