I usually do not use tofu products, since I try to stick with eating whole foods that have not been processed. But this frosting is so scrumptious, I thought I’d share it for people who are looking for a great vegan cream cheese frosting, but aren’t necessarily looking for one that is raw. For a raw frosting, see my recipe here.
I decided to use this recipe on my carrot cake for my husband’s birthday. We eat mostly raw, and usually don’t go all out on a cooked meal, but for his birthday we decided to make some exceptions. I started the day off by making him my banana pancakes. Mmm! After a nice hike, we went out to eat some tasty vegan cuisine, and came home to enjoy this bountiful dessert. He was happy. 🙂
Cream Cheese Frosting
1 (8 oz) container vegan Cream Cheese (I used Tofutti brand)
3.5 Tbsp maple syrup or agave nectar
1 tsp Vanilla
1 Tbsp orange zest (optional)
Mix your ingredients together in a bowl with a hand mixer.
Taste your frosting at this point- add more syrup if you want it to be sweeter.
Cover your cake or cupcakes and enjoy!
