Sugar-free Frosting?
 
My DS2 has not had white sugar. I'm making an applesauce cake that I usually frost with this:

Maple Nut Frosting
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup coconut oil, softened
½ cup maple syrup

Any ideas on how to de-sugar it? No dairy, soy or wheat, either :)

:popcorn Date sugar? Or are you looking for no types of sugar at all?

If you are ok with dairy you can take a block of cream cheese and mix with a hand mixer till fluffy and put on cake like that. You can add a little maple to flavor if you want

I don't have date or coconut sugar. I have sucanat, a little agave, maple syrup, stevia.... I'm trying to think what else.

2 options from thespunkycoconut.com

Frosting:
Puree:
2 cups walnuts that have been soaked at least 3 hours, and strained
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp cashew milk


Frosting:
Melt over double boiler:
1.5 bars of 3.2 oz dark chocolate (about 3/4 cup of chocolate chips)
3/4 cup coconut milk

When the chocolate has just barely melted, remove from heat.

Add:
2 tbsp honey
10 drops liquid stevia
2 to 4 tbsp coconut flour, sifted.
Refrigerate until the frosting has cooled, about 15 minutes. (You know it's ready when it is the texture of frosting.)

I've actually made the second one. :yum

I haven't made it yet, but I have two friends who rave about this.

They use powdered sucanat instead of powdered sugar.

Re: Sugar-free Frosting?
 
So how do they get powdered sucanat? Do they buy it or do they put sucanat in the food processor? Looks yummy! :yum

Re: Sugar-free Frosting?
 
you can put the sucanat in a blender or coffee grinder.
