Fluffy Creamy Vegan Frosting image

This recipe comes from the writers of my all-time favorite cookbook, Veganomicon. It's everything you want in a frosting: fluffy, creamy, sweet (just rightly), and substantial enough that it stays put. Delicious on it's own and a great base to transform into other flavors as it suits you. I whipped it up in a food processor, as suggested in a review on the Post Punk Kitchen website, but I'll include here both sets of instructions, in case you've got a handy dandy electric mixer at your disposal. This version is slightly adapted from the original.

Time 5m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup vegan margarine (Earth Balance is nice if you can find it. I've also used Fleischmann's Unsalted, Blue Bonnet Light, )
3 cups powdered sugar (ideally, it would be sifted)
1/3 cup soymilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Food Processor Instructions:.
  • Pulse the margarine in a food processor, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Add the soymilk and vanilla extract and pulse a few more times. Do not worry if it's not totally blended yet.
  • Add the powdered sugar in three or so portions. Add one third and blend. Add another third and blend. Add the last bit and whirl it until fully incorporated and the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
  • Add vanilla extract and whirl it around another few seconds.
  • Spread on cakes, cupcakes, cookies, ritz crackers, whatever suits your fancy!
  • Mixer Instructions, more or less as posted on the Post Punk Kitchen website:.
  • Melt the margarine. I put it in a small bowl and microwave it, then use a plastic spatula to get it all out into the metal bowl.
  • Add powdered sugar and soymilk, then beat on medium for about a minute, or until it's a good consistency for spreading.
  • Stir in extracts and frost away!
  • ALSO suggested:
  • The original recipe is for chocolate frosting - add 2/3 cup cocoa powder before adding sugar in either form of preparation, and add 1 1/2 tsp almond extract with the vanilla.
  • This would also be lovely with a little citrus zest - add orange or lemon zest with the extracts.

This frosting was a complete disaster. It was too sweet, too dense, and it didn't hold its shape at all. I threw it out after one bite.

I wouldn't recommend this frosting to others. There are better vegan frosting recipes out there.

Overall, I thought this frosting was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This frosting was a bit too runny for my taste. I had to add more powdered sugar to get it to the right consistency.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my frosting turned out grainy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This frosting was easy to make, but it didn't hold its shape very well. It started to melt after a few minutes at room temperature.

I found this frosting to be a bit too dense for my liking. I prefer a lighter and fluffier frosting.

This frosting was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I'll cut the sugar in half next time I make it.

I was a bit skeptical about making a vegan frosting, but this one really surprised me. It was just as good as any non-vegan frosting I've ever had.

This frosting is a game-changer for me. It's so light and fluffy, and it doesn't have that heavy, greasy feeling that some vegan frostings have.

I made this frosting for my latest batch of vegan cookies, and it was a hit! The frosting was creamy and smooth, and it held its shape perfectly on the cookies.
