Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Vegan butter
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the vegan butter and beat it with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, and continue to mix on low speed. Ensure the mixture is well blended before adding the next cup.
Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, pour in the almond milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Add the pure vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the frosting mixture. Mix on medium-high speed until the frosting is light, fluffy, and smooth. This process should take about 2-3 minutes.
Taste the frosting and adjust the consistency if needed. If it's too thick, add a bit more almond milk, half a teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Re-whip before using if needed.
