Buttercream Frosting (+variations)
Ingredients
1 cup vegan butter, softened to room temperature
3 cups powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons non-dairy milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or in a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer, beat the butter until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, about a cup at a time, and mix starting on low speed gradually increasing to medium, until all the powdered sugar is mixed in.
Add 2 tablespoons of milk and vanilla and beat on medium speed for 3-4 minutes, until everything is well combined. Scrape the bowl as needed.
If the frosting seems too thick, you can add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time. If the frosting is too thin and runny, simply add more powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Variations
Peppermint: Add 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract
Lemon: Add 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice and 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Orange: same as lemon, w/orange
Chocolate: You can make this chocolate buttercream by adding 1/2 cup of sifted cocoa powder when you add the powdered sugar. Add additional milk as needed.
Caramel: Add 1/2 cup of vegan caramel (or salted vegan caramel). Omit the milk, only use if needed to thin.
Strawberry or Blueberry: Add a 1-ounce bag of freeze dried strawberries/blueberries to a blender and blend into a fine powder. Mix into the frosting.
Store: You can make the frosting up to 2 days in advance. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use, then bring it to room temperature before using. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
