I just made this frosting and put it on top of my strawberry vanilla cupcakes made with greek yogurt. I was so pleasantly surprised by this frosting! It is so creamy and lemony.. you can't even tell there's avocado in it! It's very thick and creamy but you can still pipe with it too. I love this recipe, it's a very healthy and tasty alternative to traditional frosting!

Made this today to top some gluten free chocolate cupcakes for St. Patrick's Day. It's definitely sweet and has a hint of avocado flavor (although it's also strangely banana like. I did add a bit more 10x sugar to make it stiffer and I piped onto the cupcakes and it held very well. A great substitute for butter, margarine or shortening. Probably no less calories but "healthier", vegan and pretty cool too!

I came across this recipe as I searched for a dye-free frosting for my son's birthday cake. It turned out wonderfully! I added a little extra powdered sugar to get a firmer consistency, which I was then able to pipe with a decorator bag. The frosting held it's shape nicely using a star tip on the cake. Best of all, my son enjoyed a bright green race car birthday cake!
