Notes
NOTES:
- If all cashews and dates do not fit in your blender, start with the blender full and then add in the other dates and cashews. Once its pureed, it will take up less space in the blender.
- I used a magic bullet blender to make this frosting. You can find one here
.
- If the frosting is too runny, add a little arrowroot starch or tapioca starch to thicken it up.
- Mint would also be a good option for green.
- If you don't want to blend the spinach into the frosting, you can puree spinach with just a little bit of water and drain it. The liquid will be a great food coloring.
- With the colors, you are balancing between bright colors and mild flavors of the foods providing that natural color. I prefer a slightly muted color as I think it looks more natural.
