Equipment

mixing bowl
measuing spoons
measuring cups
stand mixer
electric mixer

Ingredients

1 cup of softened unsalted vegan butter at room temperature (salted is fine, if that’s what you have)
1 (1-pound) package confectioner’s sugar (3 ½ cups)
2 tablespoons of squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons of orange zest
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl if you’re using a handheld electric mixer), add the room temperature vegan butter. Whisk the butter on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Slowly add the confectioner’s sugar while continuously beating the vegan butter. Add in the orange juice, zest, and vanilla extract and beat for an additional three minutes until light and fluffy.

Notes

This frosting is thicker and best used for piping. If you’d like it to be a little smoother, add in more plant-based milk by the teaspoon until you reach your desired consistency.
