Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup vegan butter, softened
  • 8 oz vegan cream cheese, cold
  • 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. Beat the vegan butter and cream cheese in a large bowl with a hand mixer on medium for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar with the mixer on low. Add the vanilla and salt, then beat on medium for 1 minute until thick.
  3. Beat on high for 2 minutes until pale and fluffy. Spread or pipe onto cooled cake immediately, or chill for 10 minutes if too soft.

Notes

Work quickly once the frosting is made so it doesn’t warm up. If the kitchen is hot, place the bowl over a larger bowl filled with ice water while you mix. This frosting can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge; bring to room temperature and re-whip before using.
