STEP 1:
To make the oats extra creamy either soak overnight, or for about 1-2 hours before preparation.
STEP 2:
Rinse the oats after soak time. In a pot with 2 ¼ C water, salt, cinnamon, ginger and allspice simmer for about 5 minutes, or to desired consistency. In the meantime, blend up the icing ingredients.
