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.

Step 4
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.
