Prep Time 25 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup soaked and drained cashews soaked in water for 6 hours or overnight
  • 3/4 cup coconut cream the thick part from a chilled can of coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk the thin part from a can of coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients into a blender. Blend on high until fully smooth. This may take up to 5-10 minutes depending on your blender.
  • Once the frosting is smooth, refrigerate it in the blender container until chilled, about 30-45 minutes.
  • Remove the chilled frosting from the fridge and blend it again until thick and smooth. This may take another 5-10 minutes.
  • Frost over cupcakes or cake immediately, or keep the frosting in the fridge until you are ready to use it. You may need to let the frosting thaw out for a few minutes beforehand if you keep it in the fridge before using it.
  • After your cake or cupcakes are frosted, store them in the fridge or freezer and allow them to thaw out for a few minutes before serving.
