This Easy Chocolate Sweet Potato Frosting is probably the healthiest frosting recipe you'll ever make. Made with cooked sweet potatoes, cocoa powder, sweetener and coconut oil, this chocolatey frosting recipe is creamy, thick and actually quite filling thanks to all that fiber from the sweet potatoes.

Ingredients Used to Make This Easy Chocolate Sweet Potato Frosting Recipe

**I've linked some of these ingredients to amazon.com to give you an idea of what they are, but you should also be able to find them in your local grocery store (usually, the natural & organic food section). They are also affiliate links, which means that I earn a commission as an Amazon Associate if you decide to purchase the items. The price will be the same for you, link or no link 🙂

  • Sweet Potato – You’ll need mashed sweet potatoes for this recipe. You can steam, bake or boil them until soft but here’s the easy method: Wash and wrap a whole sweet potato in a microwave-safe silicone bag (like this one) or in a plastic wrap, then microwave on high for 6-7 minutes (or more depending on the size of the potato). You can make sure it’s cooked by sticking a fork or toothpick into the center. Let them cool somewhat before handling and mash it with a fork.

  • Cocoa Powder
  • Coconut Oil - You can use regular coconut oil, or refined coconut oil, like this one, which has a neutral scent and flavor (this is great for people who do not like the distinct smell and flavor of coconut. You can also use plant-based, dairy-free butter or regular butter instead, but the catch is that the butter or oil has to be solid at room temperature (so olive oil, avocado oil are NOT good substitutes).

Refined Coconut Oil
  • Granulated Sugar of Choice - to keep this recipe low carb, I used granulated monk fruit sweetener. You can also use granulated cane sugar
