Fantastic Frosting (Dairy Free and Soy Free)

I came up with this recipe since my son is on a gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free diet. He wanted chocolate cupcakes which I found a nice recipe for, but then had nothing to frost them with that he could have. When I made this frosting, my whole family thought it came out fantastic!
