Directions
Step 1
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the vegan butter with a handheld mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating on low speed after each addition to avoid a powdery mess. Increase the speed to medium-high and mix until smooth.
Step 3
3. Add the vanilla extract and the pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
4. Slowly add 1 tablespoon of plant-based milk at a time, mixing in between, until the icing reaches your desired consistency. The icing should be thick but spreadable.
Step 5
5. Taste the icing and adjust as needed (e.g., add a tiny bit more salt or vanilla for balance).
Step 6
6. Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whip before using.
