What it is

The smooth texture is designed for easy spreading and piping. It offers a sweet and nutty profile that complements many desserts.
How people cook with it

Open the tub and stir the frosting gently if needed. Use a spatula or knife to spread it evenly over cooled cakes or cupcakes. For more intricate designs, transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a decorating tip. You can also use it to sandwich cookies together or as a dip for fruit and pretzels. Ensure baked goods are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
