Frosting for One Ingredients
Just 3 ingredients:
- coconut oil, butter or palm shortening (or even lard, if you prefer) — Your fat needs to be room temperature and spreadable, not melted, and not cold/hard.
- cocoa/cacao powder — Or if you prefer to use carob powder (toasted), it works great, too!
- pure maple syrup — Or if you prefer to use agave or honey, those are fine, too.
How to make Chocolate Frosting for One
To make frosting for one person, simply follow this ratio for the ingredients:
- 2 parts soft, room temperature fat (butter, lard, or coconut oil) + 1 part cocoa powder (or toasted carob powder) + 1 part maple syrup or honey
And, this one Instruction step:
- Stir together well.
That’s it. Make sure your fat is not melted, nor cold and hard.
To make one small single serving: Your recipe might look like this (depending on the personal ingredients you choose) and the amount you want:
- 1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon soft butter, 2 teaspoons cocoa powder + 2 teaspoons maple syrup. You can also add a teeny pinch of sea salt and a drop of vanilla if you want to.
In the Recipe card below, I share quantities slightly larger, for one big single serving.
