Provided by Chelsey White

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 cup vegan butter, softened at room temperature (190g)
1 Tbsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste (12g)
1 tsp almond, coconut, or lemon extract (4g) - optional
3 cups powdered sugar (375g) - check the bag to make sure it's vegan!
1 Tbsp alternative milk (soy, almond, coconut, or oat) (15g)

Steps:

Beat 1 cup of vegan butter on a medium speed for 30 seconds with a paddle attachment or hand mixer until smooth.
Mix in 1 Tbsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste on a low speed. If desired, add in an additional tsp of almond, coconut, or lemon extract.
Slowly mix in 3 cups of powdered sugar and 1 Tbsp of alternative milk on a low speed.
Mix on low for a couple minutes until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the desired consistency is reached.
If the frosting seems too thick, add in additional dairy free milk (1 tsp at a time). If the frosting is too thin, add in more powdered sugar (1/4 cup at a time).
Then use as desired! I love using this buttercream to frost cupcakes and cakes.

Super yummy frosting that is completely free of animal products! Yay! My husband and kiddo love it, and I am sure it will be a hit with your family and friends. Don't tell them it's vegan until after they try it, and they will be pleasantly surprised. The longer you beat the mixture, the more air is incorporated, and you'll get a fluffier frosting.
