Low-FODMAP Chocolate ‘Butter’cream Frosting Recipe; Gluten-free, Vegan

Print Friendly Version

 

The perfect topping for any low-FODMAP Cake, this low-FODMAP Chocolate Buttercream Frosting is smooth, creamy and so decadent.  Plus you can make it without any butter, using a vegan spread (I like Earth Balance).  Slather it on my low-FODMAP Chocolate Cake, or enjoy over my low-FODMAP Brownies, low-FODMAP White Cake or low-FODMAP Whoopie Pies!

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tablespoons coconut cream or low-FODMAP milk such as lactose-free (for non-vegan version) or almond milk
