VEGAN FLUFFY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
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.

Tips for Making the Best Vegan Buttercream Frosting
- Use the best quality vegan butter you can find. This will make a big difference in the taste and texture of your frosting.
- Make sure your vegan butter is at room temperature before you start making the frosting. This will help it cream together better with the powdered sugar.
- If you don't have vegan butter, you can make your own by blending 1 cup of raw cashews with 1/4 cup of coconut oil until smooth.
- Add a little bit of vanilla extract or almond extract to your frosting for extra flavor.
- If your frosting is too thick, you can add a little bit of plant-based milk to thin it out.
- If your frosting is too thin, you can add a little bit more powdered sugar to thicken it up.
- Once you've made your frosting, you can use it to frost your favorite cakes, cupcakes, or cookies.
