Description

Creamy Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting brings silky smoothness to desserts with plant-based magic. Cashews and coconut blend effortlessly to create a luscious topping that delights dairy-free dessert enthusiasts.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (8 ounces or 226 grams) dairy-free cream cheese, cold
  • 1 cup (226 grams) dairy-free butter
  • 4 cups (454 grams) powdered sugar, sifted

Flavor Enhancers:
