1. In a large mixing bowl, add the palm shortening and beat with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
2. Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition to prevent lumps. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
3. Add the pinch of salt and the vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat on low speed to incorporate the ingredients evenly.
4. Slowly add 1 tablespoon of non-dairy milk at a time, beating on medium speed, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. If a thicker frosting is desired, use less milk; for a thinner frosting, add more milk in small increments.
5. Once the frosting is smooth, fluffy, and well-combined, use it immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. Alternatively, the frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whip before use.
