Actually, there are a bunch - they use various natural sweeteners - I will type all that I have time to!

GOlden Nugget Icing

1 cup crushed pineapple (unsweetened)
8 0z soft cream cheese
1/2 c. finely chopped nuts

Drain pineapple and save liquid; mix drained p-apple with c.cheese. Add enough of the juice to make it the consistency you like. Sprinkle with nuts after frosting.

Orange-Coconut Icing

1 TB arrowroot
6 oz. frozen oj concentrate (thawed)
1 c. unsweetened shredded coconut

Blend arrowroot and oj conc. in pan - cook until thickened. Stir constantly. Then take it off the heat and stir until it is slightly cool. Pour over cake or loaf then sprinkle with coconut. Dip cupcakes or muffins.
This is more of a glaze. And I bet you could leave off the coconut and it would still be yummy.

Honey Frosting

1/3 c honey
2-4 egg whites
pinch of cream of tartar
salt to taste
1 tsp vanilla or flavor of choice

Put everything in mixing bowl and combine. Beat at high speed until fluffy.


Cream Cheese Frosting

8 oz. cream cheese softened
1/2 c butter, soft
2-4 TB honey
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 c chopped pecans

Cream butter and c-cheese until fluffy. Beat in honey according to your taste. Add vanilla and the pecans and mix.

Powdered Milk Frosting

1/4 c. soft butter (can increase amount for a smoother frosting)
1/4 c honey or maple syrup
2-3TB milk
1 TB vanilla or other flavor
2/3 to 1 c instant dry milk powder (finally! a recipe that calls for instant MP!!)

Beat butter and honey until creamed; add milk and vanilla, then milk powder. Continue beating until it is fluffy. Adjust consistency with milk and/or milk powder.

I love this cookbook!!!!
