Mocha Chocolate Frosting... Yum!


So the kitchen experiments have begun and so far so good! At least Jaydin likes the Chocolate Mocha Frosting!!
Here is the recipe, as promised for Mocha Chocolate Cupcakes and Frosting, Compliments of  Make It Paleo cookbook

MOCHA CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Coconut Flour
6 eggs
1/2 Cup Pure Maple Syrup
1/2  Tbsp. organic Vanilly Extract
1/4 Tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 Tsp. Salt
1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder

1. Pre-heat oven to 350* F.
2. In a large bowl, Blend All ingredients with a hand mixer
3. Place muffin/cupcake papers into the muffin/cupcake pan
4. Bake at 350* F for 35 minutes
5. Let cool and top with Avocado Mocha Frosting (see below)

NOTE: I made "MINI" cupcakes. (Perfect bite sized treat)  When using MINI cupcake pan, you'll likely need to adjust bake time to 20-25min. at 350*F.



AVOCADO MOCHA FROSTING
Ingredients:
3 Avocados
1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder
1/4 Tsp. Salt
1 Tsp. Organic Vanilla
1/2 Cup Pure Maple Syrup
1.25 Tbsp. Ground decaffeinated coffee

1. Cut Avo's in half, remove pits
2. Remove flesh and place in food processor or high speed blender
3. Add all other ingredients
4. Blend until smooth

Consistency should be fairly light "airy".
 Note: Avo's darken when exposed to the air, Stir before "icing" the cupcakes.
I kept my "icing" in the fridge and frosted the cupcakes as we ate them...

ENJOY!!!
