So, it should be no shock that I have a sweet tooth. I was craving something creamy and sweet, and I've recently decided to give up dairy, along with everything the sugar, grains and carbs that I've already given up. I remembered when my aunt worked at a grocery store bakery decorating cakes, she told me they make the white icing with sugar and shortening. I was at the store and found an organic shortening made with palm oil. Palm oil is another great tropical oil like coconut oil, so I bought it thought I'd give it a shot. I'd seen several "icing shot" recipes online and just whipped up my own sugar free, dairy free version. It was YUMMY!! The xylitol turned out too crunchy...maybe next time I'll blend it even longer and see if I can get it more powdery.
White-ish Icing
1/2 cup organic palm oil shortening
2 cups of Ideal (I put it in the magic bullet and blended it to make it "powdery")
1 tsp GF/Sugar Free Vanilla Extract (or any other of your choosing)
1/4 cup water
Put it all in the mixer and mix on low until it's all combined, then crank it up to high for 5 minutes...it will turn nice and fluffy by the end of it. Then I spooned it into shot glasses and devoured it!!
