Grain & Dairy Free - Paleo Strawberry Frosting


I have been wanting to try create a strawberry frosting recipe for a while now. I had an idea that I thought would work. So I tried it and it came out perfectly! I used this frosting on my Strawberry Cupcakes, it was the perfect strawberry frosting to go with a moist strawberry cupcake!

Grain & Dairy Free - Paleo Strawberry Frosting 
Ingredients
(Boil) 
2/3 C. Strawberries pureed
(About 1/3 lb of strawberries) 
2 Tbsp. Arrowroot starch
3 Tbsp. Lemon juice(about 1/2 of a lemon)
1/3 C. maple syrup 

(Add later)
2/3 C. palm Shortening 
2-3 Tbsp. arrowroot starch 
1 Tbsp. Coconut flour 
pinch of salt

Instructions 
In a medium size pot add the pureed strawberies, 2 TBsp of Arrowroot starch, lemon juice and maple syrup. Bring to a boil over medium high heat stirring CONSTANTLY. Boil for about 8 minutes, it should be thick and "jelly" like. Transfer to a container and place in the freezer until completely cooled. 

Melt the palm shortening and allow to cool completely, you don't want it to go completely solid again, just cooled down. Then add 2 Tbsp. of arrowroot starch, coconut flour and salt.
Once the strawberry mix in cooled, add it into the palm shortening mix and whisk. Place in the freezer and every 5 minutes give it a good whisk until it is thick. You might need 1 more Tablespoon of arrowroot starch if needed. It is ready to use at this point. If you want to use later refrigerate and bring to room temp to use.

*When I made the strawberry cupcakes along with the frosting I blended 1 Lb of frozen strawberries to make enough for both. If you want to make just the frosting, blend about 1/3 Lb of strawberries to make 2/3 C. of strawberry puree. 

Enjoy!

Paleo & Vegan Avocado Key Lime Pie

I love this light simple key lime pie! It is so creamy and smooth and tastes so fresh, and doesn't make you feel heavy after eating it. You may worry that it will taste like avocados... I can honestly tell you that it does not.  When you put avocados with something, like lime juice, all you can taste is the lime. But you get the creamy and smooth texture of the avocado that makes it so good!      Paleo & Vegan Avocado Key Lime Pie Ingredients  Crust Layer   1/2 C. Almonds(any other nut will work)  1/2 C.
