Ingredients:
- 1 cup semisweet vegan chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup vegan margarine (or butter, for lacto-veg)
- 1 Tbsp almond milk or dairy milk
Directions:
- Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave
- Allow chocolate to cool to slightly warm
- Cream vegan margarine or butter
- Pour in the chocolate and beat until just combined
- Spread frosting over cooled brownies and allow to set before cutting
Cake Frosting Tips:
- 1. To make cake easier to frost, refridgerate or even freeze cakes overnight, so they'll be very firm
- 2. The frosting should be very creamy and spreadable, but not runny. If it's too stiff, it won't spread easily and will pick up lots of crumbs.
- 3. To make frosting more spreadable: Warm up stiff frosting a little by placing the bowl into another bowl of warm water for a minute
- 4. OR: Beat in up to 1 Tbsp almond milk
- 5. To prevent crumbs getting mixed into your frosting, spread a very thin layer over the cake, then refrigerate for 1/2 hr to firm the frosting and seal in any crumbs. Then frost as usual
- 6. If your cake breaks into 2 or 3 pieces (like ours did), don't panic. Fit the pieces together on the cake plate, then frost as usual. Nobody will ever know!
- 7. To end up with a clean cake plate, place a collar of waxed paper under the edge of the cake, and pull it out when you're done frosting
