   NOTES
   *POWDERED SUGAR NOTE: If you’d like to be
   absolutely certain that your icing is lump-free, sift
   your powdered sugar before mixing.
   You can make your own healthier lower glycemic
   powdered sugar out of raw or coconut sugar by
   putting it in a coffee grinder.Don’t use honey for strict vegans or feed to
   children under 1 year old.. I also wouldn’t
   advise replacing the maple syrup with stevia,
   as you might end up with a weird aftertaste.

Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting:  

Mix equal parts coconut cream and cold vegan cream
cheese together.The extra fats create a much sturdier structure.

Control the Temperature. Chill the Cake: Frost your cake or
cupcakes while they are completely cold.

Chill the frosted dessert for at least 2 hours before serving
to lock the structure.

Keep Out of Sun: Avoid placing the dessert near windows,
ovens, or warm rooms or Direct sunlight will melt the coconut
fat in minutes.

the fridge right before guests arrive. Do not let it sit out for
more than 1 to 2 hours.

Creamy Cashew-Butter
Chantilly Cream Icing
(Dairy-free)

This creamy icing is reminiscent of traditional cream cheese
icing but without the heavy cream cheese! Enjoy it over any
of your favorite baked goods.

SERVINGS: 10
SERVINGS (1 1/4 CUP TOTAL)
Total Time 10 mins
CALORIES 97 KCAL

Ingredients

3/4 cup raw cashews, soaked in very hot
water 1-3 hours and rinsed.

2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

3 tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

2-4 tablespoons water, as needed
for blending

Because coconut fat melts quickly around 76°F (24°C),
standard whipping is not enough for long displays.

To keep coconut cream frosting stable and prevent
t from melting at room temperature,you need to add
one of these structural thickeners:.
1 to 2 tablespoons Tapioca or Arrowroot
Starch OR Instant Pudding Mix OR
1/2 tsp. Agar-Agar Powder disolved in hot
coconut water and cooled.

Instructions

Combine the first six ingredients in a high-powered
blender, and blend until smooth and creamy, adding
water as necessary to facilitate blending.

Adjust flavor to taste, then transfer to a bowl and
chill in the freezer for at least an hour, to allow the icing
to thicken. The longer it chills,the thicker it will get!

Spoon the icing over your favorite baked goods, and
serve immediately! (Keep the frosted treats chilled in an
airtight container if not serving immediately.)

How to make
Whipped Cream Frosting
from Coconut cream

To make coconut cream frosting,
chill a can of full-fat coconut cream overnight.
Scoop only the hardened top cream into a
chilled bowl.

Whip it with a mixer on high for 1 minute.
Add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and
1 teaspoon of vanilla, then whip until fluffy.

Buy the right can:
Get a 14 oz can of high fat/full-fat coconut milk or 
coconut cream. Brands like Thai Kitchen or Native
Forest (not from referigerated supermaket cartons)   

Chill: Put the can in the very back of your fridge
for 12 to 24 hours. Do not shake the can.
Cooling the can causes the fat (coconut cream) to
harden and rise to the top. (The liquid coconut water
sinks to the bottom).

Separate:
Open the cold can. Use a spoon to scoop out
the solid white cream on top into your mixing
bowl.
Save the clear liquid at the bottom to disolve
Agar Agar if you’re using it as a thickener.

To keep coconut cream frosting stable and prevent
it from melting at room temperature, you need to
add structural thickeners.


Add Structural Thickeners Tapioca or Arrowroot
Starch:
Because coconut fat melts quickly around 76°F (24°C),
standard whipping is not enough for long displays.
Whip in 1 to 2 tablespoons of starch. This
absorbs excess moisture and stabilizes the structure.

OR: Instant Pudding Mix: Add 2 tablespoons
of vanilla instant pudding powder. The modified
cornstarch in the mix binds the liquid instantly.

OR: Agar-Agar Powder: Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon
of agar-agar in 2 tablespoons of boiling coconut water.
Let it cool slightly, then stream it into the cream while
whipping. This creates a vegan gelatin set.

Whip and Sweeten
Chill the bowl: Put your metal mixing bowl
and beaters in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes
before whipping. Or stand your bowls on freezer
packs while you beat.Cold equipment helps the
cream stay fluffy and not melt.

Whip:
Use a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk
attachment. Beat the cold cream on high for
about 1 minute until soft waves form.

Thicken it up:
If your frosting is too soft, gradually add 1 to 2
tablespoons of arrowroot starch or tapioca starch
and whip it again.

Add flavor:
Add 1/4 cup of sifted powdered sugar and
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Powdered sugar makes the frosting firm. You can
grind raw sugar into powder in a coffee grinder.

Finish:
Whip again on high for a few seconds until the
cream is light and fluffy. Be careful not to over-mix,
or the cream may turn grainy.

Frost and Store 
Storage: Store the frosting in an airtight container in
the fridge for up to 5 days. It will harden more in the fridge.

Decorating: Spread or pipe this frosting onto
your cupcakes or cakes. Keep the frosted dessert in
the fridge until you are ready to eat.

 Cashew Cream Frosting:

The cashew cream frosting is not the kind of thing that
you heap on liberally, there’s no piping bag required,
because you don’t put on that much. It’s very very rich.
So you don’t need all that much if spread on top of
cupcakes.
Crushed walnuts make the perfect topping decoration
for cashew cream frosting.

Yield: enough for 12 carrot cake cupcakes

Cashew Cream Frosting:
1 cup (150g) Raw Cashews (soaked for 1 hour in hot water)
2 Tbsp Coconut Oil (Melted)
3 Tbsp Date Honey or Maple Syrup
1 tsp Vanilla
1 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1/4 tsp Salt
Crushed walnuts for decoration

water for 1 hour.
Then rinse them off and add them to the blender with
the melted coconut oil, date honey or maple syrup, vanilla,
lemon juice and salt and blend until very very smooth.
