Notes
Tips & Suggestions:
I have included step-by-step photos and directions above to ensure your first attempt will be successful.
Tastes- Though its texture is similar to chocolate icing, the flavor is less sweet than frosting. It is very chocolatey and more fudge-like in flavor.
Serving- There are lots of options such as spread over a bagel, as a dip for fresh strawberries and other fruit, and even on crackers or cookies like my oatmeal walnut vegan cookies.
Storage- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and it will keep for up to 7-10 days.
