I made this frosting with dairy free cream and frosted brownies using the Ghirardelli Ultimate Chocolate Brownie mix. I doubled the batch and poured the mixture into individual aluminum cupcake tins. I baked them at 325 degrees F for 25 minutes. They turned out delicious and the frosting was excellent.
