The Best Paleo Frosting Ever
We have been eating paleo for a few years now, and I will have to say that baking has been the biggest hurdle. It’s just not the same without all of the gluten and sugar! The textures are not what we are used to and the taste is not so hyper-palatable!
But, this is actually a good thing. We are not designed to have so much system overload when we eat. We are designed to just eat real food. That’s why I really wanted to find the perfect frosting recipe for my daughter’s birthday cake. Turns out that I came up with the best paleo frosting ever!

The Best Paleo Frosting Ever
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegetable shortening
- ½ cup raw honey
- 2 Tsp vanilla extract
- 4 Tbsp arrowroot powder
- 4 Tbsp coconut flour
- 4 Tbsp coconut oil melted
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine everything except the coconut oil.
- Blend with a hand mixer until well combined.
- Drizzle coconut oil in slowly while mixing on high.
- Mix until whipped together.
- Frost cake immediately or store in the fridge (if you store in the fridge, re-whip before using).
- If you want to pipe this frosting, put it into the fridge until firm, and then use a cake decorator and pipe the frosting into beautiful designs. It’s best to take it out of the fridge and let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before piping.
- Enjoy your paleo frosting! My daughter loved it on her Barbie cake!!!
