After a couple of days in the fridge, it may be necessary to whip this frosting with a little soy milk if the consistency is too thick. This will restore a creamy texture.

Ingredients

　　1/2 cup non-hydrogenated butter substitute, at room temperature

　　1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

　　1 cup light agave nectar

　　1/3 cup soy milk powder

　　1 tablespoon vanilla extract

　　Beat the butter substitute until softened and fluffy. Add the cocoa powder and agave nectar and beat again. Add the soy milk powder, a little at a time, to achieve desired consistency. Add the vanilla extract and beat on high speed until smooth and fluffy. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
