Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Vegan butter
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Non-dairy milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the vegan butter. Make sure it is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the vegan butter on medium speed until it is smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. This helps to prevent clumps and ensures a smooth consistency.
Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, add the non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat the mixture on medium-high speed for another 2-3 minutes until it becomes light, fluffy, and creamy.
Taste the frosting and adjust if needed by adding more powdered sugar for a thicker consistency or a few drops of non-dairy milk for a softer frosting.
Use the frosting immediately to decorate cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whip before using.
