Non-Dairy Frosting


CHOCOLATE


Ingredients:



1/3 cup cocoa powder



2 cups confectioners' sugar

With electric mixer, beat dairy-free buttery spread on high until fluffy. Beat in cocoa powder and vanilla on low. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar, alternating with water, until desired thickness is achieved. If a thinner frosting is desired, increase water. If a thicker one is desired, decrease water.
