Equipment

Ingredients

6 tablespoons of vegan butter cold and diced
8 ounces of vegan cream cheese
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
4 ½ cups of powdered sugar

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, add the vegan butter, vegan cream cheese, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, cream for 5 minutes.
Add in the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time.
Continue to mix for 5 minutes or until light and creamy.

Notes

For pipeable frosting: Chill it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes (or fridge for 20-30 minutes) to help thicken it.

Don’t under-whip: It can look done fairly quickly, but if it’s not whipped long enough, it’s less likely to hold its shape.

The yield: This recipe should make enough for 12-16 piped cupcakes (more when spread), a 9x13-inch sheet cake, or a 2-layer 8-inch cake.

Don’t skip the chilling time: Otherwise, the frosting may be too soft.
