Notes

  • The dairy-free frosting makes about one and a quarter cup. The serving size is two tablespoons
  • With these amounts, the frosting only makes enough to frost about six- eight cookies. Double the batch depending on how much you need
  • If you need to make this frosting nut-free, simply sub Sun Butter for the cashew
  • If stored in the fridge, the frosting hardens. Thus, it's best used immediately
  • Cocoa powder works in place of cacao.
  • You want the creamy white part of canned coconut milk, not the runny watered down part.
