Chocolate 'Butter' Icing
Ingredients
25g (1 oz) cocoa (use double if you want it to be really chocolatey)
100g (4 oz) vegan margarine
About 300g (12 oz) icing sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla essence - optional
Instructions
1. Beat the margarine until it is really soft.
2. Sieve the icing sugar and cocoa and beat it into the margarine a little at a time.
4. Add vanilla if you're using it. If you want to pipe your icing and it's too thick, add a little water or soya milk.

Alternatively, use real chocolate instead of cocoa. I use the same amount of melted chocolate as marg, and four times as much icing sugar (eg. 75g marg, 75g choc, 300g icing sugar). Add a spoonful of soya milk if necessary.
