Top off your favorite desserts with this heavenly, dairy-free Paleo chocolate frosting!

While most store-bought frostings are full of sugar and artificial colors, this recipe is made with wholesome, Paleo-friendly ingredients. It’s simple to make and only requires four ingredients to get started.

Just like traditional buttercream frosting, grass-fed butter makes up the bulk of this recipe. It creates a smooth, silky texture that combines effortlessly with rich coconut cream. The chocolate flavor comes from cacao powder to help lock in powerful antioxidants. (1)

While most frosting is sweetened with powdered sugar, this Paleo chocolate frosting uses coconut sugar as a healthier alternative. To achieve the same powdery texture, pulse coconut sugar granules in a food processor, high-speed blender, or coffee grinder for five seconds. The powdery texture will be necessary for a smooth frosting, without the gritty texture. Tip: Use blended coconut sugar as a Paleo-friendly alternative, anytime a recipe calls for powdered sugar.

Next, combine the butter and powdered coconut sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Be sure to use butter at room temperature for easy mixing. Use an electric mixer on low-medium speed to thoroughly combine for about 30 seconds. Gradually add in the cacao powder and continue blending, then toss in the coconut cream and mix until fully incorporated. Spoon into a jar, cover, and store in the refrigerator for up to two days. Smear this Paleo chocolate frosting all over your favorite gluten-free cupcakes, brownies, and cakes!
