Question:
What brand has yummy vegan cookie icing? Just incase I don’t want to make my own.
— Toni Crawford
Answer:
I think Tony needs to sign up for essential vegan desserts. Um, in terms of icing, how I make my icing is with silken tofu that has been, uh, drained, you know, when I've wrapped it in a towel and then I take it out of the fridge a couple of hours later and it has maple syrup in it and it has cocoa powder and it makes a beautiful, beautiful silky really, really nice, nice icing in terms of there being a sort of like the plant-based version of Betty Crocker in a can. I wouldn't know if that existed, but Chef Frank Costigan has a program coming up on December the 17th, and it's about substituting ingredients when baking. So I hope that you would sign up for that because I think that Fran can probably give you the best example. And her cookbook has some really good recipe ideas for pie, crust and for icing.
