White Sweet Potato Frosting

2 small baked white sweet potatoes
2 medjool dates
1 tbsp cashew butter or tahini
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup plant milk (or adjust to consistency)

Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.

* You could use orange sweet potatoes for the frosting, if you aren’t able to get white. If using orange potatoes, start with 1/4 cup of plant milk and add more as needed to create your desired consistency.
