Chocolate Icing

Makes enough for 30 cookies or 1 house
Prep Time5 minutes
Total Time5 minutes
Servings: 1 cup
Author: Heather Nicholds

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup unrefined sugar, like coconut or sucanat
  • 1/2 cup arrowroot powder, or tapioca starch
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy milk, - just enough to moisten the icing

Instructions

  • Put all of the powders in a bowl, and add the almond milk slowly, a tablespoons at a time, and stir to bring the icing together.
  • Spread the icing on your cookies and decorate. For a house, be sure to add icing to all of the joints, including the bottoms of the walls so that the house sticks firmly to the base.
  • Get creative in your decorations - I like to use dried fruit and nuts since they’re wholesome and I usually have them on hand. When I make a gingerbread house, I often use foliage to decorate the scene.
