Mine never boiled, just thickened slightly right before it suddenly turned into a sticky chocolate blob before my eyes. don't know what went wrong, but i wasted my ingredients and my time!

You just bolied it for too long!! i brought it up to a boil on medium heat. it takes patience but you don't have to worry about it burning. once boiling i counted to 50 and took it off the heat til it stopped bubbling. this is actually an awesome recipe. the icing is super fudgey.

Mine thickened in an instant as well, but I just quickly stirred and removed it from the heat to keep a smooth consistency. If you know your elements get hotter than others, or heat up more quickly, don't boil this for more than 40 seconds! I also constantly stirred my frosting with a whisk.
This is delicious frosting!

I absolutely loved this recipe. Vegan cake is usually pretty bland, but this definitely made the entire dessert worthwhile

I just tried thie recipe and it is very creamy,
rich and fudgy! Just added an extra 1/2 teaspoon
vanilla and a dash of cinnamon. The cinnamon
brings out the chocolate flavor even more! This
is a keeper!

I'm trying to cut out sugar, so I combined this with another icing recipe I found and came up with the following:
2 mashed bananas
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c water
1/4 tsp Stevia powder
1 tblsp maple syrup
6 tblsp cornstarch
4 tblsp cocoa powder

I heated this until it got warm (30 seconds-you have to be really careful b/c it will burn), then removed it from heat and stirred for 2 min. It turned out pretty lumpy so I put it in the food processor with 1/2 tsp vanilla. It's still a little bitter, like dark chocolate, but the texture is great and it'll do for icing that has no refined sugar and is fat free . I was also thinking that substituting the water for apple or orange juice would make the icing sweeter. Adding dates would work, too. I'm going to experiment more next time, I just wanted to see if anyone else had suggestions.
Thanks
