Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dairy-free butter substitute
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer at medium speed to beat the dairy-free butter substitute until creamy, which should take about 2 minutes.
Gradually add in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary to ensure an even mix.
Add the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Beat on high speed for an additional 2-3 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy. Adjust the consistency if needed by adding more almond milk for a thinner frosting or more powdered sugar for a thicker consistency.
Taste the frosting, and if needed, adjust the vanilla or salt to your preference.
Frost your cooled cakes, cupcakes, or cookies as desired. Any leftover frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
