AIP Banana-Avocado “Chocolate” Frosting is the healthiest frosting out there, and it’s SO delicious! Made with carob, healthy produce, a little fat and scant sweetener, enjoy this ganache-type topping:

• on cakes and cupcakes
• by itself as pudding
• as a filling in berries

This banana and avocado-based frosting is completely smooth and light in texture — and most of the sweetness comes from the banana.

Perfect for special occasions, including Valentine’s Day, parties, afternoon tea and casual gatherings, AIP Frosting is also great to make for a quick impromptu dessert for one or more.

This recipe is Gluten-free, Paleo, Vegan and real food.

How to make AIP Chocolate Frosting

I use a mini food processor for this recipe. You may need to process it a bit more if you have a larger food processor (or double the recipe).

1. Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape the sides and bottom, and process again to be sure it’s fully smooth.
2. Top cakes or cupcakes, pipe into berries or eat like pudding with a spoon.
