Sugarfree, Lactosefree, Glutenfree,...
I wanted to find frosting and filling for a baby's first cake (smash cake), but the healthiest I found was made with cream cheese, which I am not ready to give my 1 year old.
So I thought that maybe... just maybe... I could figure out a way to get the smooth feeling of cream without actually using it... and that is when I remembered avocado!
It is so perfect one wonders why no one has ever done it.
So, I have tested and the only issue I could find is the color.
It will be difficult to make a cake that is not greenish.... even using blue berries you end up with something turquoise.
In any case, it is fantastic in texture.
Adding just a little of fruit results in variations of color and taste (sweet level also):
Using a tough mango instead makes it much less green and almost as smooth, but still dark yellow which should still allow you to reach the other colors:
So it is not a perfect rainbow, but she won't notice and she will adore it.😉
I'll add pictures as soon as I have taken them, but so far I only had time to test on a bowl.

Blue berries - very sweet
Kiwis - bit acid

Boiled carrot - needs added maple syrup
Strawberry
Blue berry
