Almond Cream Cheese Frosting

February 9, 2012 By Vanessa Rae Romero

I mentioned early last week, I found new kitchen inspiration, by stumbling on a few raw vegan blogs. Who knew raw vegans are experts at coming up with cheesy creations without dairy by using nuts. After watching endless YouTube videos and scouring the internet for tips and tricks, I thought I would test out my own vegan cheesemaking skills. I started out simple and made a Cashew Parmesan Cheese. It was all it promised to be and more. I decided to up the ante a little and try my hand at a nut cream cheese. While nut cheese can be made with a variety of different nuts, the most popular ones are almonds, cashews and macadamia nuts. Since I had almonds on hand, that's what I used and with much success. I have made this three times now and have been very pleased with the results. I have used it to make frosting for Not Sugar Cookies as well as Carrot Cake Cupcakes and as a spread instead of butter for Muffins.

6 Easy Steps to Making Almond Cream Cheese

Carrot Cake (recipe coming soon!).

ALMOND CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Tonight I had a conversation with my dad about his experiences with racism. He told me a story about being afraid to hold my mom’s hand in public when they were newly married in 1969. When she died in December 2015, he was still holding her hand. 💜

HAPPY SUNDAY...I don’t know about you, but I’ve been feeling increasingly unsettled. When I ask God, what can I do to make a difference, what I’ve heard over and over, is to just keep showing up. So that’s what I do. You might not think you matter, but I promise you do!!! 💜
