Equipment

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup Raw Cashews
1/4 cup Maple Syrup
1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup Coconut Cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp coconut oil * optional

Instructions

Soak raw cashews in hot water with a pinch of salt for 1 hour or room temperature water overnight. Drain and Rinse then add to a high-speed blender.
Add the remaining ingredients and blend on high until smooth and silky. Taste and adjust the amount of apple cider vinegar for preferred tanginess and maple syrup for preferred sweetness.
The frosting will harden after refrigerating if you prefer icing that can hold its form. On the other hand, if you want softer more fluffy frosting, you can whip it with a hand mixer.

Notes

* Coconut oil is optional if you prefer oil-free. It helps the frosting harden when chilling.
