Ingredients
- 8 ounces Vegan cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons Plant-based milk
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegan cream cheese and vegan butter. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat them together on medium speed until fully blended and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Add the vanilla extract and mix briefly until incorporated.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition to prevent the sugar from puffing up. Once incorporated, increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until smooth.
Step 4
If the frosting is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of plant-based milk, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Continue beating until light and fluffy.
Step 5
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
