Cream Cheese Frosting Directions:
Ingredients:
1 c. Raw Almonds
1/2 tsp. Sea Salt
1 tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp. Organic Lemon Juice
1/3 - 1/2 c. Filtered Water + Water for Soaking & Blanching
(optional)
2 Tbsp. Coconut Oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
stevia or xylitol to taste (I used 12 drops of Sweetleaf Vanilla stevia)
Directions:
1. Soak almonds in filtered water for 8 hours. Rinse and drain.
2. Blanch soaked almonds by pouring very hot boiling water on them and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
3. Remove the skins by pinching the almonds between your fingers.
5. Blend until smooth. Voilà almond cream cheese.
Mine came out like this - kind of like the consistency of Mashed potatoes.
I tried to pipe the cookies by putting the cream cheese in a baggie and cutting off the tip and squeezing it out - but alas - my ET's - didn't work.
If having difficulty getting almonds smooth, you can add additional water or you can add coconut oil.
Store cookies in freezer or refrigerator.
My batch made 23 - each cookie has: C/6 -S/.05 - F/2

OK, it seriously deleted my comment again. WTH???? What I said was, you go girl on trying new things....and isn't cream cheese BFC friendly, so wouldn't that be easier? And did you like the cookie or the frosting best?

Also ... I meant to tell you that I tried your 2 Minute Muffin that you were kind enough to give me the recipe for. I used 2 Tablespoons of almond flour instead of one T of almond flour and I Tablespoon of coconut flour because I don't care for coconut flour. I also added a little maple extract. WOW!!!! It was SO good!! Thanks again for the recipe!
