Chocolate Frosting

For fans of the vanilla frosting - this is not quite as yummy, but still delicious

1 c coconut oil
1 1/2 c powdered sugar
1/2 c cocoa powder
2 tbsp rice milk

Add all dry ingredients to mixing bowl. Beat on low until incorporated, then beat on high until creamy. Add rice milk slowly while stirring and then beat on high until all coconut oil lumps are gone. Will frost an 8 inch cake.

Vanilla Frosting

In search of the perfect birthday cake frosting, I have created this:

Vanilla Frosting

1 c coconut oil
1 1/2 - 2 c powdered sugar
1/4 c vanilla powder
1 tbsp rice milk

Add the coconut oil, powdered sugar, and vanilla powder to a mixing bowl. I recommend a stand mixer, as the coconut oil takes a long time to cream. Cream the oil and sugar and vanilla until creamy. (This can take several minutes) Add the rice milk slowly while stirring. Continue beating frosting until all coconut oil lumps are gone- it's worth it - this is a delicious frosting!
