  8. Mix until creamy and add more plant-milk if needed.
  9. Place the frosting on top of the muffins with a piping bag or spoon.

  11. If necessary, sprinkle with beetroot powder*.
Notes
*Since I baked very spontaneously, I, unfortunately, had no time to soak my cashews. The recipe wanted to be on my blog before Valentine's Day, of course, so I simply gave it a try with this "Shabby Chic" result :). I hope you'll excuse me. There's still a lot of love in the muffins.
