This frosting has a somewhat maple flavor to it. You can use it right after making it, or if you want to use a cake decorating tip (like in the top photo), put the frosting in the refrigerator for 30 minutes first.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup macadamia nuts, soaked in ½ cup water for 15 to 30 minutes
  • 6 medjool dates, pitted and diced, soaked in ½ cup water for 15 to 30 minutes
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Drain the soaked nuts and discard the water.
  2. Add all ingredients (the nuts, dates with their soak water, and vanilla) to a blender, and purée until smooth and even in color.
  3. Add a little more water as needed, to keep the blender moving if the mixture gets too thick.

Macadamia is actually a seed. Are you specifically allergic to them or true nuts like chestnuts acorns or haslenuts?

How about a dairy free whipped topping from the grocery store? I like the So Delicious brand whipped topping.
