Nuts about Chocolate Icing

by

I’m always looking for a healthier version of our favourite treats, and my family loves that wonderful mix of sweet and salty you get from chocolate and peanut butter.  This icing is a perfect topping to cupcakes, cakes, and brownies, it’s also gluten and dairy-free!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter or your favourite allergy-friendly alternative
  • 4 tbsp maple syrup or agave
  • 4 tbsp raw cacao powder
  • 2.5 tbsp of almond, pea or coconut milk
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup semi-sweet dairy-free chocolate chips

Method:

  1. Throw all the ingredients into a food processor and blend! 
  2. Spread on your favourite dessert, and pop any uneaten icing in the fridge!
