Instructions

Combine the first six ingredients in a high-powered blender, and blend until smooth and creamy, adding water as necessary to facilitate blending.
Adjust flavor to taste, then transfer to a bowl and chill in the freezer for at least an hour, to allow the icing to thicken. The longer it chills, the thicker it will get!
Spoon the icing over your favorite baked goods, and serve immediately! (Keep the frosted treats chilled, if not serving immediately.)

Notes

Make it Vegan: Use maple syrup instead of honey.
