Honey Goat Cheese Frosting

If you have allergies or need/want to avoid dairy or any other food, you know that sometimes it can be hard to find/make substitutes for the things you love to eat. For a while now, I have been searching for a good dairy and soy free substitute for cream cheese to make cheesecake and cream cheese frosting for cinnamon rolls (yum!).

I have the fortunate ability to eat goat cheese. Some people with dairy allergies can tolerate goat cheese. The proteins in goat's milk are much smaller than that in cow's milk, making it easier to digest.

I had found a great goat cheese at Costco about a year ago, but over the winter they stopped stocking it. I had totally taken it for granted and never wrote down the name of the brand. It was a perfect substitute, it tasted exactly like regular cream cheese...it was a sad day when I looked for it and they didn't have it.

Anyways, I was at Costco recently and saw they had a new goat cheese they were selling. Since my family was making cinnamon rolls to celebrate the holiday, I decided to buy it and see if it met my standards.

IT WAS DELICIOUS! It didn't taste exactly like cream cheese, but it had a sweet, slightly tangy taste to it. I would highly suggest making it. I think I might actually like it more than the regular recipe we use with cream cheese.

Here's the recipe, feel free to try it out, you won't be disappointed. :)
