PREP TIME 15 minutes
TOTAL TIME 15 minutes
SERVINGS 12

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/3 cup palm shortening
  • 1/3 cup paleo/vegan cream cheese I use Kite Hill
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2-2 cups grain-free powdered sugar I use Trader Joes with is corn-free!
  • 1 tbsp Culinary matcha
  • 2-4 tbsp coconut milk or milk of choice

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Add palm shortening and cream cheese to a large mixing bowl and beat with on high for 1-2 minutes to make it fluffy.
  2. Add in vanilla, 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, and 2 tbsp milk and beat to combine, starting from a low speed and then increasing speed. Beat for about 2 minutes, and then add remaining powdered sugar and beat again if needed to thicken
  3. Add matcha 1 tsp at a time and beat again. You may want to beat the matcha into half of the batter to create a swirl effect like I did. I frosted my cake first with the plain frosting, and then added the matcha frosting in a few places and lightly blended with an offset spatula.
  4. Frosting will stay good in the fridge for 4-5 days if covered.
