3-Ingredient Chocolate Frosting
Frosting can still be enjoyed on the Paleo diet without any refined sugars necessary. This rich, natural and healthy chocolate frosting can be used for cupcakes, cakes, cookies, and bars. It hardens when cooled, so make sure to spread the frosting while it is still warm. The simple frosting only requires a few ingredients, but the chocolate chips should be made of dark chocolate to adhere to Paleo guidelines.
Ingredients
2 cups dark chocolate chips
3 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Melt the chocolate chips, coconut oil and salt in a small saucepan over the lowest heat setting possible.
