Chocolate Icing
Makes enough for 30 cookies or 1 house
Servings: 1 cup
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.
