Creamy Maple Cashew Icing

My Creamy Maple Cashew Icing is perfection on top of the Mini Pecan Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes. Well, any cupcakes for that matter. Silky and smooth, this icing will be hard not to eat right off the spoon. Made with only 5 ingredients, this is a great recipe to make ahead of time (to save time!) and a free of refined sugar! Keep in an airtight container for up to a week.
