Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons non-dairy milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Ensure the vegan butter is at room temperature for easy creaming.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the vegan butter using an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating on low speed initially to prevent it from flying out of the bowl, then increasing to medium speed until each cup is fully incorporated.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract, non-dairy milk, and salt to the bowl. Continue to beat the mixture on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 3 to 5 more minutes.
Step 5
If the frosting is too thick, add more non-dairy milk, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar, a couple of tablespoons at a time.
Step 6
Taste the frosting and adjust the vanilla or salt if necessary.
Step 7
Use immediately on cakes, cupcakes, or your dessert of choice, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Rewhip before using.
