The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian This raw frosting recipe is basically easy, although it does require sunflower lecithin, which keeps the ingredients from separating and gives it that almost fluffy texture. I suggest making this raw frosting recipe in your high-speed blender.
This raw frosting recipe has a very simple, creamy, almost bland flavor, similar to whipped cream. It goes very well when you just want to add a creamy texture, and is especially good when combined with fresh fruits, like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and such.
This raw frosting recipe isn't overly sweet. You can increase the honey to a maximum of a 1/4 cup if you'd prefer it to be sweeter, but the basic raw frosting recipe below is fine with the 1/8 cup honey--and I do have a sweet tooth.
I like to use this raw frosting recipe as a whipped cream substitute. Be warned that this recipe really does need to set in the fridge, and it's quite runny until its been sitting in the fridge for a number of hours.
Use anywhere where you would use whipped cream or a basic raw frosting recipe. Remember, this recipe has a very subtle, simple flavor so you will want to pair it with an exciting flavor, like pineapple or raspberries... or both!

I'd love to try this for my niece's birthday but between her and my kids we need to be completely nut free... are there any seeds that might work instead of the cashews? sunflower? sesame? hemp?
(thank you)

Hmmmm.... Not too sure about needing to use a seed for this one.
I definitely don't think sunflower would work, avoid that.
You could try hemp hearts...but if doing so DEFINITELY reduce the water. You might have to experiment a bit to tweak the recipe..
Sesame could work too...
If you try it please come back and let us know how it worked!

coconut butter & coconut oil are not the same, which did you use in this recipe? id love to make it! looks like a more complicated recipe of ani phyos raw whipped cream (coconut oil + cashews + vanilla extract I think it was)
ps coconut oil = just the fat, coconut butter = the fat and the meat together. its thicker and tastes better!

Good point Sabine. I keep forgetting that they are different. I definitely mean coconut oil for this recipe. :)

Hi Laura-Jane,
I'm curious about the sunflower lecithin- is this something that you buy at the HFS, or is it simply ground sunflower seeds?
Thanks!

It is definitely something you want to buy at a HFS. Ground sunflower seeds won't cut it, sadly!
It's somehow related to keeping the ingredients mixed together and providing a fluffy texture so you definitely do want to use lecithin to make this recipe work well.

it's an emulsifier, lecithin can also be soy or egg based, its def not ground up seeds! I buy it at my health food store :)
