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.

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
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.

Steps:
- Cream margarine. Add cocoa and powdered sugar alternately with rice milk. Beat to spreading consistency (additional rice milk may be needed). Blend in vanilla. Makes about 2 cups of frosting or enough for 1 double layer cake.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the frosting come together smoothly and prevent it from becoming too thick or grainy.
- Beat the butter and shortening until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the frosting and make it smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar gradually: This will help prevent the frosting from becoming too thick or gritty.
- Use non-dairy milk as needed: If the frosting is too thick, add a little bit of non-dairy milk until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Flavor the frosting to your liking: You can add vanilla extract, almond extract, or other flavorings to taste.
- Use the frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator: The frosting can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
This vegan buttercream frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you are a vegan or just looking for a dairy-free frosting option, this recipe is sure to please.
