Notes
Make sure to use creamed honey as it gives the dairy-free frosting a better texture. Regular honey dilutes it too much and it won’t hold together to pipe.
If opting for a sugar-free frosting, add in one teaspoon of vanilla extract for flavor.
Again, you could always add in a hint of powdered sugar but that’s up to you.
If stored in the fridge it works really well to spread on baked goods but it is ever so slightly too hard to pipe. Letting it thaw at room temperature for 5-10 minutes will help.
