Recipe Summary Vegan Buttercream Frosting

Super yummy frosting that is completely free of animal products! Yay! My husband and kiddo love it, and I am sure it will be a hit with your family and friends. Don't tell them it's vegan until after they try it, and they will be pleasantly surprised. The longer you beat the mixture, the more air is incorporated, and you'll get a fluffier frosting.

Ingredients | Buttercream Frosting With Shortening

½ cup shortening

½ cup vegan butter (such as Earth Balance®)

3 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted if needed

¼ cup hemp milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Beat shortening and vegan butter together with an electric mixer until well combined and fluffy. Add powdered sugar and beat for about 3 minutes more.

Add hemp milk and vanilla extract; continue beating until fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes.

You can use different extracts to flavor your frosting, and any kind of alternative milk available to you. I like hemp milk because it is rich and contains essential fatty acids and protein.

You may also use more sugar, if you prefer a sweeter, thicker frosting.
