Minutes to Prepare: 15

Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

1/2 cup coconut oil

1 cup powdered sugar

5-6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tablespoons coconut milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

Good-tasting pure stevia extract, to taste

Optional addition for a glossy finish:

1 fresh organic egg yolk

Directions

Cream the coconut oil and sugar in a small bowl until smooth. Slowly blend in the cocoa powder (unless you want to redecorate your kitchen), vanilla, and sea salt. Beat in the coconut milk and egg yolk, if using. Add stevia, starting with 1/16 teaspoon. You'll probably use less than 1/4 teaspoon. Just keep tasting and adjust sweetness to your liking.

note: coconut oil is solid under 75 degrees, and liquid otherwise. around 73-74 degrees, it's nice and soft, and perfect for this. if it's really cold out, you'll need to heat it up SLOWLY so it softens, but doesn't melt.
