Honey-Cocoa Frosting

This recipe was created to go with my whole wheat chocolate chiffon cake. It contains no refined sugar and no egg. For white frosting, reduce the honey to 1/2 cup and omit the cocoa powder.

Original recipe makes 3 cups

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup clover honey
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pint heavy cream

  • PREP

  • READY IN

    15 mins

Directions

  1. Whip the cream cheese with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in the honey, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract.
  2. Beat the cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the cream should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
