The key to using full fat coconut milk
If you opt to use full fat coconut milk instead of coconut cream, we suggest refrigerating the can ahead of time so that the cream and liquid separate nicely. Easy!

How to make the best paleo chocolate frosting
This easy vegan chocolate frosting couldn’t be easier to make. You’ll basically Whip it with a mixer on high (just like whipped cream!). Then immediately spread over a cake, or place into jars for chocolate mousse, or pour into a bowl for a fruit dip. SOOOO GOOD.
- Chill the coconut cream. You’ll start by draining the liquid from the can of coconut cream and reserving both the liquid and the coconut cream in two separate containers. Chill these in the fridge for at least an hour.
- Melt the chocolate. Next, melt the chocolate chips with a pinch of salt either on the stovetop or in a microwave save bowl.
- Combine the frosting. Add the melted chocolate to a bowl and whisk in the cold coconut cream (not the liquid) until completely smooth. Cover the mixture and place it in the fridge to harden for 2-4 hours.
- Beat the frosting. Once the chocolate and coconut mixture is completely hardened, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the frosting until fluffy peaks form. If it’s too hard to beat together, simply add a couple of tablespoons of the reserved coconut cream liquid to the mixture.
- Enjoy! Use the frosting immediately on a cake, cookies or cupcakes, or see below for even more ways to use it!
The result is SO FLUFFY AND THICK AND EVERYTHING YOU’VE EVER DREAMED ABOUT.

Tips for fluffy vegan chocolate frosting
There are a couple of easy tips for ensuring that your 2-ingredient chocolate frosting turns out perfectly fluffy and creamy:
- Start slow & increase speed. When you’re whipping the chocolate & coconut cream mixture together, be sure to start on slow and increase the speed of the mixer as you go. This will create those nice peaks and make it easy to frost your favorite treats.
- Add liquid as needed. As I mentioned, if the mixture is hard to beat together, simply add some of the cold, reserved coconut cream liquid a tablespoon at a time.
- Don’t overwhip. Just like with other frostings and whipped cream, be sure not to overwhip the mixture, otherwise, the texture will break down. The frosting is done once those peaks form and it’s nice and creamy!

Vegan chocolate frosting made with only two ingredients: coconut cream and dairy free chocolate chips! This paleo, dairy free 2-ingredient chocolate frosting is SO easy to whip up and doubles as a paleo chocolate mousse recipe or even a chocolate fruit dip. You’ll make this one again and again!
Ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) can coconut cream or full-fat coconut milk
- 1 1/2 cups dairy free chocolate chips
Instructions
Drain all of the liquid from the coconut cream and reserve each in two separate containers: one for the liquid and one for the coconut cream. Chill both containers in the refrigerator for at least an 1 hour.
Add chocolate chips and a pinch of salt to a small pot and place over low heat. Stir until melted. Alternatively, you can place the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in-between until chocolate is completely melted.
Transfer melted chocolate to a medium bowl and whisk in the cold coconut cream (not the reserved liquid) until completely smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to harden at least 2-4 hours or until hard and cold. You can also do this portion a few days ahead of time and refrigerate.
When chocolate is hard and cold, use a hand mixer or a KitchenAid mixer to beat frosting until peaks form and it looks nice, fluffy and creamy. If the mixture is too hard to whip, add a couple of tablespoons at a time of the reserved coconut cream liquid to the mixer and beat until it comes together and resembles frosting.
Use immediately on a cake or cupcakes or pour into small mason jars to use as chocolate mousse or into a medium bowl for a fruit dip. Makes about 2 cups of frosting.
Frosting should be kept in the fridge when not being used. After you frost a cake, the frosting will be good at room temp for 1 day, but will harden.
Recipe Notes
If you opt to use full fat coconut milk, we suggest refrigerating the can ahead of time so that the cream and liquid separate nicely.
