Cashew Cream Frosting

Thick and creamy vegan frosting makes the perfect topping for a carrot cake, or smeared on a batch of cupcakes. This recipe couldn’t be easier, just throw all ingredients into a blender and there you are! Softened cashews always blend easier, so if time allows, soak the cashews for at least half an hour before mixing.
