Rich, glossy, and deeply chocolatey, this frosting starts with melted dairy free chocolate whipped into softened dairy free butter until the whole thing turns pale and fluffy. Sifted cocoa powder and a pinch of salt deepen the flavor before a touch of dairy free milk and pure vanilla extract get beaten in until the frosting turns light, smooth, and holds a soft peak on the beater. It's the kind of frosting that spreads like a dream over cupcakes, layer cakes, or straight off a spoon, with a texture that's silky rather than gritty. Because it leans on real melted chocolate and a proper creaming method for its body and shine, it comes together as a genuinely great option for an added sugar–conscious kitchen. Keep it in your back pocket for birthdays, bake sales, or any day that calls for a serious chocolate fix.

Place the chopped dairy free chocolate in a small saucepan over the lowest heat setting, stirring constantly, until just melted and smooth, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool for 10 minutes, until no longer warm to the touch.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened dairy free butter with a stand mixer or hand mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
