Perfection! This recipe gives all the satisfaction of delicious icing without the sickly sweetness. I use it all the time and everybody raves about. Well done. Fantastic recipe.

Loved this. Made the chocolate version for high protein (whey and Greek yogurt) brownies. Used 200 grams very well cooked (drippy and carmelized) sweet potato from my air frier, 50 grams raw cacao, and just 1/4 cup maple syrup plus the coconut oil and vanilla. Used my Vitamix. Would eat entire batch right out of Vitamix if I had no brownies already made.

I love this recipe! I am obsessed and want to try purple and white sweet potatoes next. I love that we’re eating sweet potato and that there is no dye used to get the beautiful color. I used butter instead of coconut oil, and it came out great, flavor and texture. I left it out in the counter overnight, and it tasted great the next day. But, do you think it’s ok to leave it out another day or should I refrigerate it? Thanks!

I want to make your gorgeous coconut flour cake and frosting just for a quick single layer yellow cake craving that’s haunting me! I only have a very, very dark pure maple syrup from a small farm in Vermont & fear it will ‘stain’ both. What else could I use? Agave or ?? I adore your blog!!

Hi, thanks for the recipe I’ve tried the icing and I thought it will react as the cashew frosting one, I left it outside the fridge for a fee hours and it tastes so sour almost like a fermented taste. Do you know why sweet potatoes don’t react in the same way than cashew or other nut for frosting? I use to leave my cupcakes outside the fridge and I haven’t had any issues with them

Hi Megan,
Thanks for posting this frosting recipe. Just wondering if this would freeze OK? Or any of the other vegan frosting recipes that you’ve got? I have to bake some allergy friendly cupcakes for my kid to put in a freezer at school so would appreciate if you could tell me if this will freeze (and thaw out ok)?
Thanks

How long will this frosting keep in the refridgerator?

I made this with orange sweet potatoes, and it was really tasty and a great color. I would suggest adding only a tiny bit of water (or none) to start and add more as needed. My frosting didn’t set up like the picture, but it stall tasted great. Thanks! I’ll be making again

It won’t be as glossy and smooth without the maple syrup, so it will probably be more similar to putting a fruit & veggie puree on top of your baked goods. But that can still be okay, if you don’t mind that sort of texture. (My kids wouldn’t be okay with that, so it just depends on your audience.)
