3-Ingredient Chocolate Fudge Frosting

I can’t believe these three simple ingredients create such a thick, decadent frosting.

It’s vegan, low-fat, gluten free, refined sugar-free, and so quick + easy.


I made this recipe intending to use it on a single-serving cake, so feel free to double or triple the recipe as needed.

SERVES: 2 (55 calories – 1.5 F / 15 C / 1.5 P per serving)

INGREDIENTS:

1/3 cup cocoa powder (30 g)

3 stevia packets (1 stevia packet = 2 teaspoons sweetener)

1 Tablespoon pure maple syrup (15 ml)

3 Tablespoons water (45 ml)

DIRECTIONS:

In a small bowl, mix together cocoa powder and stevia. Add maple syrup. Slowly add water a little bit at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Add extra stevia to taste, if needed. Frost cake, and enjoy!
