July 31, 2016

The frosting was so light,not overly sweet,unlike the regular frostings and the lemon addition brighten up the whole cupcake. It’s a really well-balanced dessert,with no butter and not much sugar. You will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth!

1/2 cup corn starch
1/4 cup almond meal

2 TBSPS Strawberry Vegan jello or regular for the non vegetarians
pinch of salt

3 cups very cold heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
