Personal Notes:
This is by far the best chocolate frosting I've ever eaten. Speaking of eating this frosting, it tastes amazing on cake, but a spoonful straight from the fridge is fudge heaven! The recipe is lightly adapted from Gretchen's Vegan Bakery. She blazed the way for vegan bakers everywhere and I would be lost without her recipes.
