Notes
- Make sure to use creamed honey as it gives the dairy-free frosting a better texture. Regular honey dilutes it too much and it won’t hold together to pipe.
- If opting for a sugar-free frosting, add in one teaspoon of vanilla extract for flavor.
- Again, you could always add in a hint of powdered sugar but that’s up to you.
- If stored in the fridge it works really well to spread on baked goods but it is ever so slightly too hard to pipe. Letting it thaw at room temperature for 5-10 minutes will help.
