- ⅛ tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup almond milk

- Blend until a creamy frosting texture is achieved, scraping down sides as needed and using the tamper if blending. Add more almond milk as needed to encourage blending. NOTE: Be careful not to add too much as it can make the frosting too runny.
- The texture should be thick and spreadable like frosting! If chunky or too sticky, add almond milk as needed. If too thin, add more soaked dates, cashew butter, or cacao powder to thicken.
- Use immediately. Or, if you prefer a firmer frosting, cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight. You can freeze if you’re in a hurry. Perfect for frosting cakes, brownies, cupcakes, and more!
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 1 week, or in the freezer up to 1 month.
