Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large bowl add the butter, coconut oil, honey, and vanilla.
  • Whip lightly with a handheld mixer to combine.
  • Add in the collagen and tapioca flour and whip for 1-2 minutes.
  • Portion into a piping bag and pop in the fridge for 5 minutes.
  • Warm up the frosting by squeezing the bag slightly and pipe it onto your dessert.

Notes

  • Makes enough for six cupcakes.
  • The kind of butter you choose will make a slight difference to the texture. Oil-based vegan butter may melt more.
  • Make sure to have your butter at room temperature before trying to whip it. Otherwise, it will create a chunky texture.
  • Vanilla bean paste can be used in place of vanilla extract.
  • Likewise, as the protein frosting warms up, it will melt slightly because of the coconut oil.
  • Pop your desserts in the fridge to firm up slightly after frosting.
