vegan frosting recipe
- Total Time: 45 minutes
- Yield: 12 to 24 servings 1x
- Diet: Vegan
Description
This easy vegan frosting recipe creates a vibrant, creamy, and delightfully sweet topping perfect for any baked good, offering a dairy-free option for family treats and special occasions.
Ingredients
- 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 0.5 cup vegan butter, softened
- 2 to 3 tablespoons unsweetened plant milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Soften Vegan Butter: Bring 0.5 cup (113 g) vegan butter to room temperature, about 30 minutes, until it yields easily to a gentle press.
- Cream the Butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened vegan butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 3 to 5 minutes until light in color and fluffy.
- Gradually Add Sugar: Slowly add 2 cups (240 g) sifted powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined after each addition. Increase speed to medium and scrape down bowl sides to ensure even mixing.
- Flavor Infusion: Stir in 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract and the pinch of fine sea salt until the aroma becomes inviting.
- Adjust Consistency: Gradually add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) plant milk, one tablespoon at a time. Mix on medium-high speed for 3 to 5 minutes until the frosting is smooth, creamy, and spreadable. Add more milk (1 teaspoon at a time) if too thick.
Notes
For best results, always sift powdered sugar to prevent grit. An electric stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer is recommended for aeration. If too thick, add more plant milk (1 teaspoon at a time); if too thin, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more sifted powdered sugar. Ensure your chosen vegan butter is allergen-friendly if needed.
