Dairy-free Chocolate Buttercream

Dairy-free Chocolate Buttercream – Pani Reka Tiakarete Kore-Miraka

I love a recipe that takes 15 minutes to make and completes cakes and baked goods with simple elegance. This buttercream or icing (as I call it) is so easy to make and suits those of your loved ones who cannot have dairy. Whip it up and either pipe or spread it on to cakes, slices or muffins for a chocolatey good time. This is perfect for adding on to my Vegan Chocolate Cake, paired with chocolate petal decorations.

Can I make this buttercream with normal butter?

Karawhuia – go for it. This recipes works so well with whatever you have at home. If you want to use normal pata (butter), just soften it and use exactly the same amount of Olivini that I have used. You could also use a tiakarete miraka (milk chocolate) instead of tiakarete parauri (dark chocolate) or whatever your taste buds need for the moment.
