AIP Lemon Frosting (Coconut free, vegan)

Here is an AIP compliant, coconut free, lemon muffin frosting to put on top of any cake. You can also totally eat this AIP lemon frosting all by itself, as a simple pudding.

I like to spread this AIP lemon frosting on top of my (AIP) pumpkin muffins or my Gingerbread loaf (AIP, vegan, paleo). Another option is to spread my AIP Carob Frosting.

📖 Ingredient notes

To make this lemon frosting recipe you will need:

• Sweet potato puree. Make sure to use orange sweet potatoes.
• Lemon juice. Freshly squeezed.
• Maple syrup. Use pure maple syrup.
• Lemon zest. It will add extra lemony flavors to your lemon frosting and garnish.

🥣 Step by step instructions

1. In a blender combine the sweet potato, lemon juice and maple syrup. Taste and adjust lemon juice and maple syrup according to taste.
2. Frost your cake with this and sprinkle some lemon zest on top and voilà! Bon appétit!

🔪 About the sweet potato puree

To make sweet potato puree, you can either :

• use a steamer (my personal favorite) : peel and slice the sweet potatoes. Put them in your steamer and cook for about 20-25 minutes or until they are soft.
• use an oven : use a fork to pierce several holes into the sweet potatoes, then place them on a baking dish and cook in the oven for about 1 hour at 400°F (205°C) or until they are soft. Then slice them down the middle and scoop out the flesh, discarding the skin.
• use a microwave-oven : use the same process as with the oven, then place them on a microwave-oven safe dish and cook for about 10 minutes or until they are soft.

Whichever way you decide to cook your sweet potatoes, once they are cooked and cooled down, just add them to your blender with the other ingredients of this recipe.

And if you have some leftover sweet potato puree you can make my Sweet potato and bacon muffins (AIP, paleo) or my Mashed sweet potatoes (AIP, paleo, whole30).
