California Avocado in this frosting not only replaces some of the butter of traditional frosting recipes, it also makes for an amazingly creamy texture, a decorators delight! It pipes, swirls and twirls like a dream. Use to frost cakes or cookies and garnish with patriotic sprinkles or candies for an All-American theme.

Start cooking

Serves: 10

|
2 3/4 cups confectioner’s sugar 6 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder 3 Tbsp. butter, at room temperature 1/2 ripe, Fresh California Avocado, seeded peeled, and pureed 1 Tbsp. milk, or more as needed to thin 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Frosts one 8-inch round (two-layer) cake

  1. In a medium bowl, sift together the confectioner’s sugar and cocoa powder.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter with the pureed avocado until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the sugar mixture, adding a Tbsp. of the milk for moisture.
  4. Blend in the vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy, adjusting the consistency with more milk or sugar.

Serving Suggestion: The frosting can be applied with an off-set knife. For a more festive look, place frosting in a pastry bag fitted with a 1M or 2D pastry tip and pipe icing in a random back and forth swirly pattern onto cake (pictured).
