Sure-just use organic, raw sugar, which you can easily powder in a food processor or blender!. Add a little spring water, and if you want it colored, use a little beet powder (red) spirulina (green), or another herb based colorant!. You can also make a great chocolate one, using vegan chocolate chips and a little rice or nut milk!. I make a great vegan (and gluten/wheat) free chocolate biscotti which I frost with this and it turns out nice and crunchy!. Another way is to forget about traditional icing, and just drizzle your baked goods with a little raw agave nectar mixed with a drop or two of orange, lemon, or raspberry oil!. Yummy! We have found that we have lost the taste for super sweet, gooey frosting, and prefer just a little drizzle of sweetness instead!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
