Chocolate Frosting

30. March, 2009

This is a very low fat and healthy frosting and you can use it on any cake you think might benefit from a chocolate frosting. I would never, ever eat the butter/icing sugar combination you find on so many cakes so I use my version of chocolate frosting instead. At least mine does not clog your arteries! Also, there are not many frostings that are good for your heart (the potassium in bananas) and are rich in antioxidants, iron and vitamins (the cocoa powder). If you are watching your figure for some reason, you might want to try carob powder which has lower fat than the cocoa powder.

You will need a food processor or blender to make this recipe.
