Ingredients
Frosting Ingredients
- 4 ounces vegan cream cheese
- 1½ tablespoons vegan butter, slightly softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted if lumpy (add more for a stiffer frosting)
- ⅛ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Beat cream cheese and vegan butter: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the vegan cream cheese and softened vegan butter until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add vanilla and powdered sugar: Mix in the pure vanilla extract and powdered sugar gradually, continuing to beat until the frosting is smooth and well combined. For a stiffer consistency, add additional powdered sugar one tablespoon at a time and beat until desired thickness is reached.
Notes
- Use full-fat vegan cream cheese for best creamy texture.
- Vegan butter should be slightly softened but not melted for easier mixing.
- Adjust sweetness and consistency by adding powdered sugar gradually.
- If powdered sugar is lumpy, sift before adding to ensure smooth frosting.
- Store finished frosting in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before use for easiest spreading.
