Creamy Cashew Icing

Makes 2 cups.

A yummy “cream cheese” icing, from Chad Sarno.

Goes well with the Carrot Cake recipe I have posted here.

  • 2 cups raw cashews, soaked
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons dates, soaked
  • 1 tablespoon coconut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or half a vanilla bean)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Preparation

Place all ingredients in a high-powered blender and process until creamy.

This looks delicious! I bet it would go really well on cinnamon rolls as well.

I just tried a carrot cake recipe on here and loved the cake but not the icing. I think I will try this next time!

Hi there.

By “coconut butter”, do you mean coconut oil? Or a product made of ground coconut meat – with or without some proportion of coconut oil? I’ve seen this term used both ways, and I find it very confusing.

Thanks!

I made this with a little almond milk to top shannonmarie’s cinnamon rolls[http://goneraw.com/recipes/80-Cinnamon-Rolls] with and it was really terrific. Just what I needed! Thanks for posting it!
