Instructions

Add all ingredients to a stand mixer and blend on low for 30 seconds.
Once the ingredients have started to combine, slowly increase the speed to high and blend for one minute.
To thin the consistency (if needed) add more milk, or to thicken add more powdered sugar.

Notes

I highly recommend the beater blade if you have a KitchenAid stand mixer. It scrapes the sides and beats at the same time, which is awesome.
It's really easy to make cashew milk, for use in this recipe and others. Make sure to check out my recipe and video on homemade cashew milk.
