For healthier frosting
Substitute: Avocado for butter.
Why: Swap some of the butter in chocolate icing with an equal amount of avocado and you’ll add vitamins, minerals, and healthy monounsaturated fats without losing any of the creamy texture. Adjust cocoa powder or other ingredients as you like, but ‘in a true fudge-type icing, you’re never going to taste [the avocado],’ Alexander says.
