frosting recipe that is not nut butter

[Guest guest]

I would like a recipe that is not a nut butter that is legal. I have been

checking scd, but am not able to find one. Butter is an option, but how

would I color it for pink or any other colors. Would like a recipe for a

cookie, any suggestions?

How about yogurt cheese mixed with honey and vanilla? You could color with a few

drops

of water left after cooking beets, or grape juice for more purpleish. I have

always thought

about mixing date puree with yogurt cheese for frosting too- it just seems like

a natural.

The BTVC has several recipes for nut butter free frostings. Here are a

few I've collected over the years, and also a link on coloring the

icing naturally. http://www.missroben.com/id237.html

Seven Minute Frosting

3 egg whites

2/3 cup honey

1 tsp vanilla

Place egg whites and honey in top of double boiler over hot, but not

boiling, water. Beat with a rotary beater, or an electric beater at

low speed while water comes to a boil. Increase speed to high speed,

and continue to beat for 7 minutes, or until mixture forms soft peaks.

Remove from heat, add vanilla slowly, and continue beating until

frosting is

stiff enough to hold its shape. (about 3 minutes longer)Yield: 3 cups

(enough to frost a 2 layer cake)

Note: Plus a stick of softened butter

recipe: cinnamon icing

2 T coconut oil

4 T honey

1 T cinnamon

warm coconut oil and mix. keeps a long time in fridge. just warm

before using to ice something.

d.

ps.more thoughts . . . on new creations. . . .

now as i read it i wonder what kind of cool candy it could also be

made into if you heated the honey till some high candy making temp and

then added the cinnamon and coconut oil. anyone with some candy making

experience know what temperature you would strive for? i know they

talk about it being so hot it either forms a soft ball or hard ball

when a drop is dropped into cold water.

(Sharon's note:)

-I also have used mint extract on this recipe and it was yumm!

I've been working on this recipe since my dd started SCD. It's finally ready

" Real " Frosting:

8 ozs. Spectrum Organic 100 % Palm Oil shortening

1 stick butter, softened (I use salted)

1 cup honey

1 tbl. vanilla

if not adding the optional ingreds. below, I put in a tsp. of pure orange

extract.

Mix all ingredients, preferably in a heavy-duty stand mixer. I put my

Kitchen-Aid on level 4 for five minutes. At 5 minutes I scrape the sides and

let it go for another minute or two.

For pink frosting: add 2-3 tbl. beet juice (water beets have cooked in.

Unsalted!!!!)

For mocha frosting: dissolve 1 tbl. instant coffe in a small amount of warm

water.

This makes a fairly large amount of frosting. I frosted the middle, top and

sides of a two-layer cake and have enough left to do a one-layer cake.

It was dd's birthday party yesterday and I made a cake that looked and tasted

like, well, like a cake that 11 girls snapped up b/c it was good, not b/c they

" felt sorry " for my dd (last year's nut cake fiasco....).

Good luck,

Hi Ellen,

The recipe looks very good.

For the Mocha part, instant coffee isn't legal. You may be able to

use very Strong coffee for the frosting instead.

Thank you, Sheila. I thought that the legal Folger's Coffe singles were

instant. Guess they're not. I'll brew some next time....

Thanks for the frosting recipe and its variations. I'll be trying it for my

birthday cake. I do have a tip for you, though: about the instant coffee, if you

hadn't already known, it isn't SCD legal. Elaine Gottschall's website

www.breakingtheviciouscycle.com has an A-Z list of SCD legal/illegal foods and

instant coffee is one of the illegals. Sorry.
