Date-Guava Frosting
This frosting is delicious on cupcakes, but can also be used on whole-grain toast as a spread, or mixed into plain yogurt, oatmeal, or ricotta or cottage cheese to add delicious flavor.
Ingredients
- ½ cup pitted dates, about 10 small or 5 large
- ½ cup canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- ¼ cup guava nectar or juice*
- 5 medium strawberries
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions
- Add the dates, beans, nectar, berries, and 1/4 cup water to a blender and puree until smooth. Stir in the chia seeds and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. (Chia seeds act as a gel to firm mixture into a frosting-like spread.)
