Vegan Buttercream Frosting (Dairy-Free)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, softened 1 stick
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 to 3 cups organic powdered sugar sifted (make sure it's vegan-friendly)
- 3 to 4 tablespoons full-fat coconut milk or your preferred dairy-free milk optional, but coconut milk gives a lovely richness
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the vegan room temperature butter with an electric hand mixer until it's light, about 1 minute. You're looking for a smooth texture.
- Add the vanilla extract to the creamed butter and beat it again to incorporate.
- Slowly mix in the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue until all the sugar is incorporated and the frosting looks fluffy.
- If your frosting is too thick, add dairy-free milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. Remember, you want it to be spreadable but still hold its shape.
