Frosting is a thick and creamy topping commonly used on cakes and as a filling between layers. It provides a generous, fluffy coating for treats like cupcakes, bars, and layer cakes. Unlike icing, which has a thinner, glaze-like consistency, frosting is whipped and light, often made into buttercream. It pairs well with desserts like chocolate cake, vanilla cupcakes, chocolate biscuits, and brownies.
We are happy to bring you another recipe that can benefit from the goodness of Organic Mushrooms extract powders.
List of ingredients:
- 2 tablespoon / 30g Butter at room temperature
- 2 teaspoon Organic Mushrooms extract powder (Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi, Maitake, Shiitake etc)
- 1 cup powdered cashews or soaked cashew paste
- 1 Cup / 125g Powdered Sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt to help intensify the chocolate flavour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
To make this quick chocolate frosting, start by boiling water in a small saucepan over high heat. In a food processor, blend cashew powder or soaked cashew paste until smooth. Add butter, powdered sugar, Organic Mushrooms extract powder, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Pour the hot water over the mixture and whisk until everything is combined and smooth. You can adjust the consistency of the mixture/ frosting by adding a little bit of hot water if required and sweetness can be adjusted as per your preference. The umami taste of the Organic Mushrooms extract powder will add a certain richness to the mixture. Use this rich, chocolatey frosting to top your favourite cakes or cupcakes for a delicious and adaptogenic treat.
You can also make this frosting without a hand mixer by just using a bowl and whisk. Since it uses little butter, there’s no need to whip it like buttercream. This frosting will last 3-4 days at room temperature, 1 week in the fridge, or 3-4 months in the freezer. Store it in an airtight container and whisk it again before using. If it gets too thick, add a bit of hot water to thin it out.
â…“ teaspoons of Organic Mushrooms extract powder equal one gram of mushroom extracts. It is generally recommended to consume 1-2 grams of functional mushroom extracts per day for an adult.
