FLUFFY CREAMY VEGAN FROSTING



Fluffy Creamy Vegan Frosting image

This recipe comes from the writers of my all-time favorite cookbook, Veganomicon. It's everything you want in a frosting: fluffy, creamy, sweet (just rightly), and substantial enough that it stays put. Delicious on it's own and a great base to transform into other flavors as it suits you. I whipped it up in a food processor, as suggested in a review on the Post Punk Kitchen website, but I'll include here both sets of instructions, in case you've got a handy dandy electric mixer at your disposal. This version is slightly adapted from the original.

Time 5m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup vegan margarine (Earth Balance is nice if you can find it. I've also used Fleischmann's Unsalted, Blue Bonnet Light, )
3 cups powdered sugar (ideally, it would be sifted)
1/3 cup soymilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Food Processor Instructions:.
  • Pulse the margarine in a food processor, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Add the soymilk and vanilla extract and pulse a few more times. Do not worry if it's not totally blended yet.
  • Add the powdered sugar in three or so portions. Add one third and blend. Add another third and blend. Add the last bit and whirl it until fully incorporated and the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
  • Add vanilla extract and whirl it around another few seconds.
  • Spread on cakes, cupcakes, cookies, ritz crackers, whatever suits your fancy!
  • Mixer Instructions, more or less as posted on the Post Punk Kitchen website:.
  • Melt the margarine. I put it in a small bowl and microwave it, then use a plastic spatula to get it all out into the metal bowl.
  • Add powdered sugar and soymilk, then beat on medium for about a minute, or until it's a good consistency for spreading.
  • Stir in extracts and frost away!
  • ALSO suggested:
  • The original recipe is for chocolate frosting - add 2/3 cup cocoa powder before adding sugar in either form of preparation, and add 1 1/2 tsp almond extract with the vanilla.
  • This would also be lovely with a little citrus zest - add orange or lemon zest with the extracts.

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.

Tips for Making Vegan Galaxy Frosting:

  • Use a high-powered blender or food processor to get a smooth and creamy frosting.
  • If you don't have a high-powered blender or food processor, you can soak the cashews in hot water for 30 minutes before blending.
  • Add a little bit of lemon juice or vinegar to help the frosting set.
  • If you want a thicker frosting, add more powdered sugar.
  • If you want a thinner frosting, add more almond milk.
  • For a fun and colorful galaxy effect, add a few drops of food coloring to the frosting.
  • You can also add other decorations to the frosting, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or edible glitter.

Conclusion:

Vegan galaxy frosting is a delicious and easy-to-make frosting that is perfect for any occasion. It is also a great way to use up leftover cashews.
