There are also less processed xgfx cream cheeses on the market you could play around with. I heard Wayfare just came out with a good one. xo kittee Hey Serena,

I've always wanted to eat a cookie sandwich, but haven't actually done much cookie baking at all. (This needs to change). Also, do you have any suggestions for homemade "cream cheese" to use in the frosting/ creme filling? The long ingredients list on the Tofutti version (and the less than fresh "tofu" taste) is a turn off for me. These look delicious.

I wung the creme filling, but it was based on this: • 1/4 cup solid coconut oil • 2 oz non-hydrogenated Tofutti cream cheese (1/4 container) • 1 cups powdered sugar, sifted • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract strawberries I don't think this is solid enough for cupcakes, tho. This is my basic cookie and cupcake stuffing mixture. Coconut oil can be very fragile and it is super sensitive to warm temperatures. For a buttercream, I think something like this would be better: Blend together the fats until smooth. Beat in the powdered sugar, salt and vanilla. Slowly beat in the strawberries until the proper texture has been achieved. Chill to firm up, then frost. 1/4 cup vegan margarine or vegetable shortening 1/4 cup coconut oil 2 cups powdered white sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 2-3 tablespoons mashed strawberries, including juice Hi Shilpa!

I would love to use it on cupcakes. Is there an actual recipe for the creme filling? I would love to use it on cupcakes.
