Time 6m

Yield 4 cups, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup margarine, softened (I like Earth Balance)
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (dutch processed if you have it)
3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/4 cup coconut milk or 1/4 cup almond milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or extract of your choice, match to the flavor you want) (optional)

Steps:

  • Using a stand mixer with paddle or whisk attachment, cream the margarine and shortening together.
  • Add cocoa, powdered sugar and the liquids and mix slowly until incorporated; going too fast on this step is messy -- powdered sugar clouds and splatters -- go slow until you get those mixed in!
  • Beat on high until fluffy. It usually takes 5-8 minutes of beating in the mixer for this to get super fluffy --- you will see the texture change and the color gets significantly lighter as well. If it doesn't lighten, it isn't ready.
  • Variations: To vary the flavor, try different extracts: almond, peppermint, orange, rum, raspberry, etc. Try using orange juice or coffee instead of the milk. This chocolate base is really a great starting point to get a ton of gourmet flavor if you're up for it! ENJOY!
