Ingredients
Instructions
-
Toast the shredded coconut and chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the coconut is lightly browned and fragrant and the pecans are toasted.
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder with the low-calorie maple syrup or sugar-free syrup and whisk until smooth.
-
Gradually pour in the unsweetened almond milk while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Add the coconut oil and continue whisking until fully incorporated.
-
Place the saucepan over low heat and cook the mixture, stirring continuously, until it thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the toasted coconut and pecans until evenly distributed.
-
Add the vanilla extract and stir well to combine.
-
Allow the icing to cool for a few minutes until it thickens to a spreadable consistency, then use to frost cakes, cupcakes, or brownies.
