No Refined Sugar | Gluten-Free | and So Good<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

#DoneWithFun Daddy looked at me on Saturday and asked, “How could there be a thing as too much Easter?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real question is, how could there be too much Easter before<\/em> it was even Easter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I knew there could be too much Easter. A year ago, an Easter weekend of excess inspired me to write about the ‘holiday hangover’ phenomenon<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d love to tell you I learned from my mistakes and embraced my “more basic-less extra” mantra of 2019<\/a> this past weekend, but that’s only partially true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I did do some things right: I brought a healthier Easter dessert option to our family gathering because I knew by 6 pm on Easter Sunday, everyone was already going to be on sugar overload fueled by Cadbury mini eggs and Peeps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, I was just going to bring a sugar cookie fruit pizza, rationalizing that at least the dessert would include fruit and no chocolate. But then I decided to take it one step further and get inventive to create a recipe with no refined sugar that actually tasted good. (If such a thing exists.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s possible, you guys. This clean Honey-Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting is to die for. So good that I might start frosting birthday cakes with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cookie cake base is gluten-free, made from almond butter and almond flour, lightly sweetened with raw honey and pure vanilla extract. To be honest, the cookie cake on its own is not quite sweet enough for my taste, but topping it with fluffy cream cheese frosting and fresh fruit was the perfect pairing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And oh, the frosting. Grass-fed butter is a necessity for that silky texture, and choose a good raw honey (local if possible). But don’t pick anything dark … look for the lightest option. I chose a combination of honey and comb because I love the extra complexity the honeycomb adds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

P.S. Because I just can’t break my #soextra tendencies, I shaped my pizza into an oval and decorated it like an Easter egg. But it works just as well in a regular pizza pan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
