anybody have a good recipe for cake frosting that can be made without dairy and is fairly healthy? I don't want to use artificial sweeteners.

I have been "googling" for days.....

    Dairy free, easy peasy: Make butter icing as normal but with dairy free spread/baking marge and add vanilla, or cocoa powder, or whatever other flavouring suits the cake.

    You're not going to get healthy as such for frosting if you want it to taste good!

    I make a soaked citrus sponge cake which doesn't have any kind of icing on it, instead you make a sugar syrup with sugar and lemon juice and pour that over the cake while it's still warm from the oven, makes the cake really moist and the top goes a bit crunchy so that's another option.

    Why does it have to be dairy free? Are you allergic?

    you can use a dairy-free milk like almond or soy....also cake generally isn't healthy, it's about moderation. If you want some just bit a little bit.

    I don't know of any healthy frostings, but many of the pre-made tubs at the grocery store (pillsbury, Betty Crocker) are dairy free.

    I have my own healthy recipe for chocolate frosting. It tastes surprisingly delicious and it's Thick!

    Ingredients: 1 hass avocado, 1/4 cup honey, 3 tbsp cocoa powder
    Directions: Pour all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

    Voila! Most wholesome cake frosting ever! Honestly, you don't taste the avocado; It's there for the texture.

    Isn't cake sweet enough already without glooping on more stuff?
