Maple, Date, Almond Icing

Posted by Kimbecupcake

This simple, great tasting icing recipe is from my Icing ebook called " Icing Only" and it is taken from the "High Fiber Icings" section.

Ingredients

Amount	Ingredient
1 cup	dates
1 cup	water
1 cup	ground almonds
4 1/2 cups	powdered sugar
1/2 tsp	maple flavoring

Directions

1. Place the dates and water in small saucepan and cook for 10 minutes or until the dates are very soft. 2. Let cool, then place them in a food processor and add the rest of the ingredients. Process until the icing is smooth. It is good on spice, date or white cakes.
