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.

Tips:

  • To make the vegan buttercream icing, you will need a stand mixer or a hand mixer and a large bowl. Make sure the bowl is large enough to accommodate the volume of the icing, as it will increase in size as you beat it.
  • Use a high-quality vegan butter that is firm and cold. This will help the icing to hold its shape and prevent it from becoming too runny.
  • Add the powdered sugar gradually, one cup at a time. This will help to prevent the icing from becoming lumpy.
  • Beat the icing on medium speed for about 5 minutes, or until it is light and fluffy. If the icing is too thick, add a little bit of plant-based milk or water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • If you want to add flavoring to the icing, such as vanilla extract, almond extract, or cocoa powder, do so after the icing has been beaten until light and fluffy.
  • Use the icing immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

This easy vegan buttercream icing is the perfect finishing touch for any cake, cupcake, or other dessert. It is made with simple ingredients that are easy to find, and it can be made in just a few minutes. The icing is light and fluffy, with a rich and creamy flavor. It is also very versatile, and can be flavored with a variety of different extracts or powders. Whether you are a vegan or not, you will love this delicious and easy-to-make icing.
