Vegan Mascarpone Frosting
Vegan mascarpone frosting is a delicious and versatile alternative to traditional mascarpone frosting, which is made from cream and cheese. Vegan mascarpone frosting is made with plant-based ingredients and is a great option for those who follow a vegan or dairy-free diet.
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews soaked in water for at least 4 hours or overnight
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tbsp vegan cream cheese
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 2 tbsp agave nectar or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the soaked cashews.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the cashews, lemon juice, vegan cream cheese, melted coconut oil, agave nectar or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary. If the mixture is too thick, add a little non-dairy milk to thin it out.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon juice as desired.
- Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
