Paleo Fudgy Chocolate Avocado Frosting, GF

This week is going to be dedicated to frosting. To this Paleo Fudgy Chocolate Avocado Frosting to be exact. It is smooth and creamy and satisfying! The smooth texture is thanks to the avocado, which we think pairs really well with chocolate.

We came up with this frosting a while back when we wanted to cover paleo chocolate chip cookies in frosting and it has been our go-to frosting ever since. We have used it to cover muffins, brownies, cookies and cake. It is so versatile and satisfying that it would be unfair to not share this recipe… so here it is 🙂

The reason that this frosting is so versatile is that the texture is thick and fudgy.

It coats any dessert surface and stays put.

By stay put, we mean that it doesn’t melt if left out or harden if put in the fridge.

It stays thick and fudgy no matter what… and that is the beauty of it.

It also tastes great. You may be wondering what the deal is with the avocado.

We'd be lying if we said that you don’t notice that it’s in the frosting.

However it works with the chocolate and hints of vanilla and cinnamon flavors.

Plus, it’s frosting without butter and made of non-processed ingredients. It’s hard to beat that.

We've been asked by a few people what we mean when we say “paleo”.

Basically, it is anything that falls under the Paleolithic diet, which we won’t go into long detail here.

What is important here is that when we say Paleo, we're also saying nonprocessed.

And nonprocessed means lighter. Or healthier.

As we mentioned, we've used this Paleo Fudgy Chocolate Avocado Frosting on a wide variety of desserts. One of our favorite desserts to pair this frosting with would have to be our Fudgy Paleo Brownies, as pictured above. Yuuum!

Another favorite use for this frosting is on top of these Chocolate Chip Muffins, pictured above.

These muffins were made for this frosting! Stay tuned for the recipe and one more frosting related recipe this week 🙂
