QUEEN ELINOR CREAM FROSTING

Directions

1. Drain dates and save water.  
   Blend dates, pine nuts and vanilla in food processor or blender for 3 minutes or until smooth, adding a little soak water (from dates) if necessary.  
   If desired, save remaining date water for use as a liquid sweetener for up to 6 weeks.
   For best texture, refrigerate frosting at least 6 hours or overnight before using.  
   For whiter cake, cover with a layer of moist shredded unsweetened coconut after frosting.
