Easy Dairy Free Frosting Recipe
A simple and delicious Dairy Free Frosting recipe that is perfect for sugar cookies and Holiday baking season!
Ingredients
- 1 cup Miyoko's plant-based butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2-3 cups powdered sugar divided
Instructions
- 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).
- Add Sugar: Add 1 cup powdered sugar; beat until creamy. Add another 1 cup powdered sugar; beat again until creamy. If you like a softer, thinner frosting you can stop here. Otherwise, you can add more powdered sugar, 1/3 cup at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. (Note: we tested adding 4 cups of powdered sugar and it was definitely too much - the consistency was too thick and was more like a paste).
- Enjoy: Spread on your favorite sugar cookie recipe!
Notes
- Plant-Based Butter: we used Miyokos plant butter and it worked perfectly - plant based butters can vary widely so this is the brand I recommend for best results!
- Adjusting Consistency: If needed, add unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk), 1 teaspoon at a time, until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency. To thicken, add additional powdered sugar.
- 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!
