Icing

As kids, we made icing from butter, vanilla, a pinch of salt, food coloring, and powdered sugar.  Just cream a cube of butter, add 1/4 tsp. vanilla, pinch of salt, and powdered sugar to thicken.  Use a beater and continue to add powdered sugar until you reach the proper consistency.  Adding a dab of water or nut milk will help texture become more creamy.  Food coloring is fun.  Perhaps there is a natural one to purchase at the health food store.
Also, if you can't eat butter, you could try ghee.  It will be a little thinner and the flavor more caramel flavored.  Should be good. See what you think and let me know.
