VEGAN BUTTERCREAM FROSTING



Vegan Buttercream Frosting image

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.

From Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero's book "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World". This easy "buttercream" frosting is as good (if not better) then any other I've ever had. I was very pleasantly surprised when I first made it! I defy you to tell the difference!

Can you say "decadent"? Funny thing is, this is comparatively low-fat and you'll never know it, when it's spread on your favorite baked goodies! *grin* web-sourced from eHow, but edited by me.

Time 15m

Yield 18 cupcakes, 18-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/3 cup margarine (I use Earth Balance Buttery Original, but use whatever animal-free brand you like)
4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3-1/2 cup strong coffee, cold (see note)

Steps:

  • For the coffee: I just use a bit of instant and brew it about double or triple strength.
  • For best results, pre-measure the ingredients. You can pour the vanilla in with the coffee.
  • Place the vegan butter sub in a med-large mixing bowl; set hand mixer on low speed and beat till 'fluffy' (whippy is more like the right word here).
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar, stopping the mixer to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. You can also begin to add dribbles of coffee as needed to moisten.
  • Continue until it has reached your desired consistency; should be light and fluffy. Frost your cupcakes/cake/biscuits and enjoy!

VEGAN FLUFFY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING



Vegan Fluffy Buttercream Frosting image

This is our all-purpose "go to" frosting. It's great for piping into lush, swirling mountains of frostiness and just as good for spreading onto a cupcake like rolling hills of heaven. It make a lot, probably 4 cups' worth, so you can halve the recipe if you are going to be spreading the frosting rather than piping it.
