2 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. molasses
1 tablespoon vanilla
3/4 cup sunflower tahini butter (see notes above)
1 cup chopped crystalized ginger

3. In the bowl of a stand mixer or using an electric hand mixer cream together egg whites or flax eggs, palm shortening, coconut sugar, honey, molasses, and vanilla on medium speed.
4. Add the sunflower tahini butter and beat on medium speed, then on high until well incorporated and smooth.
