Ingredients
- 1 cup Dairy-free butter substitute
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Taste the frosting, and if needed, adjust the vanilla or salt to your preference.
Step 5
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.
