Rich, sweet, and chocolaty! Use this vegan icing to smother cakes and cookies, or even dip strawberries! The finished product will be smooth like a glaze, but thicker and creamier. It's fluid yet malleable. Top with pomegranate seeds for Valentine's day! Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 cup white sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup strongly brewed coffee
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (Optional)

Directions

Mix sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in coffee. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thick and starting to boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Avoid overcooking or the glaze will become tacky.
Remove from heat and stir in oil, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour.

Cook's Notes:

This recipe makes enough glaze for two 8 1/2-inch round cakes.

Substitute water for coffee if desired.
