How to Make Almond Butter Frosting

- Add 1 cup of creamy almond butter and continue beating until well combined and smooth.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of molasses.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
