VEGAN BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
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.

Steps:
- For the coffee: I just use a bit of instant and brew it about double or triple strength.
- For best results, pre-measure the ingredients. You can pour the vanilla in with the coffee.
- Place the vegan butter sub in a med-large mixing bowl; set hand mixer on low speed and beat till 'fluffy' (whippy is more like the right word here).
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, stopping the mixer to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. You can also begin to add dribbles of coffee as needed to moisten.
- Continue until it has reached your desired consistency; should be light and fluffy. Frost your cupcakes/cake/biscuits and enjoy!
VEGAN FLUFFY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
This is our all-purpose "go to" frosting. It's great for piping into lush, swirling mountains of frostiness and just as good for spreading onto a cupcake like rolling hills of heaven. It make a lot, probably 4 cups' worth, so you can halve the recipe if you are going to be spreading the frosting rather than piping it.

Tips:
- Always use chilled vegan butter and cream for the best results.

- If you don't have vegan powdered sugar, you can make your own by blending granulated sugar with cornstarch in a blender or food processor.
- Add flavorings such as vanilla extract, almond extract, or cocoa powder to taste.
- If you want a stiffer frosting, add more powdered sugar.
- If you want a softer frosting, add more vegan cream cheese or milk.
- Pipe the frosting onto your cake or cupcakes using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
- Decorate with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit.
