Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Dairy-free butter substitute
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 1.5 teaspoons Peppermint extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 drops Natural green food coloring (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the dairy-free butter substitute and use an electric mixer to beat it on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, while mixing on low speed to avoid sugar clouds.
Add the almond milk, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract to the bowl, and continue mixing on medium speed until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
If desired, add 1-2 drops of natural green food coloring for a festive look, and mix thoroughly to combine.
Taste the frosting and adjust peppermint extract if necessary, adding a small amount at a time until the desired minty flavor is achieved.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
