- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup almonds (ground)
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 Tbsp coconut nectar
- 1 tsp vanilla paste
- cinnamon (optional)
*date and goji paste: even amounts of Medjool dates and goji berries soaked for 24 hours and then blended to make a rich, sweet paste.
Frosting
- 1 cup cashew (soaked for 24 hours then rinsed and drained)
- 100ml warm water
- 1 tsp vanilla paste

- coconut nectar to sweeten
- pinch salt
Method
- Put all the frosting ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure lid.
- Select speed 1, turn the machine on and quickly increase to the highest speed.
- Use tamper effectively to press the ingredients into the blades whilst processing.
- Blend for 45-60 seconds or until smooth.
- Stop the machine and place in an airtight container. Set in the refrigerator so it hardens to an icing consistency. The thicker you want your icing the more coconut oil you will require.
- Clean and dry your Vitamix container.
