Vegan Frosting Recipe

The frosting was easy to make and it was sooooo delicious.

Vegan frosting recipe. Just used this frosting recipe for some vegan vanilla cupcakes I made and they were a hit. When you want a frosting that is super sweet yet with just enough tang to offset it then you likely want this vegan lemon buttercream frosting. Simply add your coconut cream and powdered sugar to your stand mixer bowl or a large mixing bowl preferably tall not wide to avoid splatter.

The key to the perfect vegan vanilla buttercream frosting is using a combo of vegan butter and shortening. Oh my word THIS frosting recipe. How to make vegan ermine frosting.

Start mixing on low gradually moving to a higher setting until thick smooth and creamy. Once most of the powdered sugar is mixed in turn the mixer speed up to medium and then high speed beating until the mixture is smooth and creamy 2 to 4 minutes more. Slowly add some of the cold water about 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.

Gradually increase the speed to medium and mix until everything is thick and well combined. Using the paddle attachment mix the margarine in the bowl of a stand mixer until whipped. Remove and use a stand mixer or hand mixer to whip until thick about two minutes.

Its light and fluffy and compliments so many amazing baked treats but my favorite is when it paired with chocolate cupcakes or this German chocolate cake I made for my dad. Rich and creamy with just the right amount of sweetness and the taste of real butter. Add the sifted confectioners sugar a little bit at a time and mix until smooth.

Why we love this recipe. Its time to give this recipe the extra attention it deserves. It whips up creamy and fluffy yet stiff enough that its perfect for piping to decorate beautiful cakes and cupcakes.
