Description

A simple and delicious Dairy Free Frosting recipe that is perfect for sugar cookies and Holiday baking season!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, divided
  • 2 teaspoons unsweetened almond milk, divided

Instructions

  1. Beat Butter: Add butter and vanilla to a large mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on a medium speed with an electric hand mixer until well combined (if using a stand mixer use the whisk attachment).
  2. Add Sugar + Almond Milk: Add 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon almond milk; beat until creamy. Add another 1/2 cup powdered sugar and another teaspoon almond milk; beat again until creamy. 
  3. Adjust Consistency: Add additional almond milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency. To thicken, add additional powdered sugar.
  4. Enjoy: Spread on your favorite sugar cookie recipe! 

Notes

  • Plant-Based Butter: we used Miyokos plant butter, but feel free to use any type of non dairy butter!
  • Storage: easily store this dairy-free frosting in the fridge for 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
  • Serving Suggestion: use on any of your favorite baked goods – we especially love it on these Gluten Free Sugar Cookies!
