Vegan Cream Cheese Icing

Cream cheese icing is such a crowd favourite due to the balance of ting, tang and sweetness. The cream cheese cuts the sweetness that people often don't enjoy about traditional icing, while offering a creamy and smooth texture.

For this vegan cream cheese icing, I've used a Fauxmagerie Zengarry Double Creme Cashew Wheel. Learn more about this product by clicking the image below the recipe.

I used this batch of cream cheese icing on a carrot loaf. Did you know that carrot cake was first published in 1939 when sugar and sweet fruits were in short supply during WWII?
