Hi Super Mario World, it will still taste good without the coffee. I’d recommend using Dutch-process cocoa for the best flavor, though!

Hi Lynda: You can get good results without the almond butter. Just be sure to use Dutch-process cocoa powder. It’s less acidic and smoother-tasting, and will make up for the lack of fat. Dutch-process cocoa powder brands to look for: Hershey’s Special Dark, Droste, or Guittard. Hope that helps!

I can’t tell if my comment went through so I am posting this again.
For health reasons at this time, I cannot use avocado or nut butter either; I want to be 100% fat free from all sources or as close to it as possible. Will this work without avocado or nut butter?

For health reasons, I do not want to use any fat at this time even from nut butters or avocado so I want to know if this recipe would still work

Would this still be okay without the coffee? I can’t handle the caffeine. Thank you!!

Hi Betty, so glad you like the icing! The food processor is great for making oil-free hummus and cauliflower rice, too–have fun with it! 😀

Hi Lisa, I asked about using high speed blender. Loved your answer, but I got a food processor because I really wanted frosting and it is absolutely delicious. Thank you.

Hi Richard, there’s a link in the post to the date-sweetened version: http://www.veggie-quest.com/2015/05/low-fat-chocolate-frosting-vegan-soy-free/

As for your question, you’re right: table sugar, agave, and high-fructose corn syrup are all pretty much nutritionally equivalent. Agave is 100% vegan, though, and much easier to find than corn syrup, which is why I used it here. Date paste is a great whole-food sub, although should still be used in moderation. Hope that helps!

I keep reading that agave is equivalent to high fructose corn syrup. (Some say worse.)

Isn’t there a better sweetener to use?

Thanks.
