Recipe Reviews
Hi, can I add passion fruit to this to make icing for carrot cake, rather than use the passion fruit icing recipe? I think this will be more tangy
You can definitely include passion fruit in this icing to give it a tangy flavour. One thing worth noting is that extra liquid from the juice may make the consistency of your icing wetter. To counteract this you may want to add a touch more icing sugar to reach the consistency that you are hoping for.
It’s easy to use and make plus it tastes nice
🤩👍🏻
