I recently bought a Gluten-Free Vanilla Cupcake mix but realized that I didn’t have any frosting. Most frosting’s are full of artificial sugars and just plain old nasty ingredients that I am not too fond of putting in my body. I wanted to see if I could come up with my own frosting recipe using ingredients from my fridge. I decided to throw a few ingredients together and see how it worked out. I love that this frosting is completely raw and contains Avocados which are a very healthy and filling fat. This frosting is delicious. The consistency is very thick and creamy and could definitely be eaten on it’s own as a pudding!
Ingredients:
2 large avocados, pitted and scoop out flesh from peel
6 tbsp raw cacao or cocoa powder
1/3 cup agave syrup (or use pitted dates for a thicker consistency which would be great for pudding)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Dash sea salt
Dash cinnamon (optional)
Mix ingredients in a food processor, high speed blender or hand-held blender. Ice cupcakes and/or cake or eat as a pudding! Yum.
I used this recipe to frost my gluten free vanilla cupcakes but am saving the left over mix to eat as a pudding for dessert 🙂
If you try out this recipe please let me know what you think!

What a great idea! Avocados!~Would have never thought to use them like that~Love it! What a great way to create the same creamy & thick texture like frosting.
Thanks! It’s really delicious and I love that you can eat it like frosting or as a pudding. It’s so good 🙂
Yummy!! That’s making me hungry 🙂 I love the sound of this recipe & they look so gorgeous, I will have to try it. I normally use coconut oil & some vanilla extract and spices or coco powder to colour 🙂 xx
