The Secret Ingredient In This Healthy Frosting Is…

THIS WAS SO SO SO GOOD

I wouldn't have believed it...until I tried it. A creamy, smooth delicious chocolate frosting that is actually fairly good for you? What? I wouldn't have believed it either until I made it this weekend, and taste tested it on three kids. This frosting is made from Avocado's, and it's amazing.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 ripe avocados
• 6-8 tablespoons of REAL maple syrup. I used Skinny Sticks Maple Syrup, which I found at Coborn's.
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp of vanilla
• 1 tbsp oil
• 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
• (optional) 1 Tablespoon sugar or sugar substitute. I used Truvia.

DIRECTIONS

I scraped out two ripe Avocados into my Ninja Food Blender. Along with 8  tablespoons of Skinny Sticks Maple Syrup, the salt, vanilla, cocoa powder and oil. Then I just blended it. I stopped blending and took time to scrape the sides of the blender, and then mixed one more time. What you get is an amazingly creamy texture.

The picture above is actually the cake I made with the amazing frosting. It was approved by all three of my sugar loving children.  You can also make the cake that my cake recipe was based on by clicking HERE.
