Vegan Fudgy Chocolate Frosting!
This Vegan Fudgy Chocolate Frosting is rich, thick, and delicious. It is secretly healthy and packed with protein thanks to a secret ingredient.
The base of this frosting is made with black beans, but you would never ever guess it! The black beans add fiber and protein while also creating a thick and rich consistency. This frosting is naturally sweetened with dates, which add additional fiber and nutrients to this healthier treat. The coconut cream adds healthy fats.
Enjoy this frosting swirled over my Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes or smeared over homemade brownies. It would also be great paired with a vanilla cake. My friends love eating this frosting on it’s own straight out of the bowl!

Vegan Fudgy Chocolate Frosting
Ingredients
- One 540 ml can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup Medjool dates pitted (about 10-11)
- 3/4 cup coconut cream the thick part from a full-fat can of coconut milk
Instructions
- Chill a can of full-fat coconut milk in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. This allows the coconut cream and milk to separate and makes it easy to get the coconut cream layer out from the can.
- Place all ingredients in a high power blender or food processor. Blend on high for 5 minutes, ensuring everything is fully combined and smooth.
- Frost your favourite cupcakes, brownies, and cakes, or chill the frosting in the fridge for up to a couple days until you are ready to use it.
