Vegan Blackberry Cashew Frosting

This deliciously rich and creamy vegan blackberry cashew frosting is an absolute dream. It is made with cashews and unsweetened coconut cream for a healthy alternative to those heavy cream cheese frostings. The perfect way to top off your cupcakes.


Vegan Blackberry Cashew Frosting

Well, I did it again….I made another vegan cream cheese topping. Remember these beautiful Paleo Matcha Cupcakes? I was absolutely obsessed with that vegan matcha cashew frosting, and couldn’t help but try a new variation.

Just in time for blackberry season I decided to adapt that recipe a bit and incorporate a deliciously fresh and homemade blackberry jam.

After a couple tweaks here and there, it turned out to be a total success! The frosting is super creamy and smooth, and the blackberries add a tangy sweetness and that dark pink coloring that I think is stunning.  It really makes for the perfect cupcake frosting! On a separate note, if you need a good muffin batter to go with this amazing frosting, check out some of my favorites:

This delicious vegan cream cheese is not only a stunner but also super easy to prepare.

Tips for Making Vegan Blackberry Cashew Frosting

  • To prepare any dish incorporating soaked cashews you will either need a high speed blender or a high quality food processor.
  • As mentioned above it is essential to soak the cashews overnight for at least 4 hours. This will ensure that you’ll achieve a perfectly smooth consistency.
  • Make sure to stir the frosting every 5 minutes while in the freezer, which will result in an even texture when it’s ready.

      Hey Jade,

      thank you so much 🙂 So typically I use unrefined coconut oil but if you are not a fan of coconut I suggest using refined coconut oil.
