Pumpkin Butter (Frosting)

makes about 2 cups

Ingredients

  • 1c northern white beans, prepared (garbanzo beans will also work)
  • 15 pitted, medjool dates; a little over a cup (soaked over night; or nuked with 1/2c water)
  • 1T vanilla extract
  • 1/4c pumpkin puree
  • 1/2t baking soda
  • stevia (sweeten to taste)
  • 1t pumpkin spice
  • 3T Amaretto or frangelico (sub water, coffee or non-dairy milk)

Directions

Begin by pureeing beans and dates in a food processor.  This may take a minute or five.  Next add vanilla extract and pumpkin puree; process.  Follow up with Amaretto (or liquid of choice) and spices.  Process until smooth like peanut butter…Only way better because it’s Pumpkin Butter!

Add more stevia if you need it a bit sweeter (it’s pretty sweet) and add more liquid to get  it to the consistency you’d like.

I always like to keep a jar of  frosting or two in the fridge because you never know when the urge to eat a few spoonfuls will strike you! Plus, it’s nice to have a a little sweet on hand with just a few ingredients that you can pronounce.
