Mocha Icing (recipe follows)

Place the macadamia nuts and sugar in a food processor and pulse for about 30 seconds, or until the mixture resembles a fine meal.
Add the vanilla extract and butter.
Process just until smooth.
Add 1 1/4 cups of the flour and pulse just until the flour is incorporated.
Stir in the remaining cup of flour and process just until the dough starts to form a ball.
Briefly knead the dough to fold in any loose crumbs.
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 8 inches long on a sheet of waxed paper or plastic wrap.
Wrap the waxed paper or plastic wrap tightly around the dough and twist the ends closed.
Chill for several hours or overnight.
