Dairy Free & Paleo "Cream Cheese" Frosting

I had an idea for creating "cream cheese" frosting with no dairy.

I was getting so eager to try it out. I made it and it turned out amazing! It is so creamy and very similar to the "real" cream cheese frosting I used to make. I used lemon to give it a cream cheese taste, I was worried that it would taste like lemon, but it really didn't. Feel free to adjust the lemon to how "tart" you want it to be.

Dairy Free & Paleo "Cream Cheese" Frosting

Ingredients
1 C. Cashews, soaked*

1/2 C. coconut cream (scraped from an unshaken can of coconut milk refrigerated overnight)

3 Tbsp. creamed coconut, melted**

5 Tbsp. Maple Syrup

1/2 C. coconut oil, melted

1/4 tsp. salt

3 Tbsp. Lemon Juice

Instructions
Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender until creamy and smooth, about 5 minutes. Pour it into a container and cover. Place in the freezer, every 5 minutes take it out and stir it, making sure to scrape the sides. When it has fully thickened and cooled it is ready to use. If you are piping it make sure it is thick enough to stay on the spoon.

Recipe Notes:

*Here is a link to how to soak cashews

**Creamed coconut can be substituted with coconut butter.
