Cup of Yum
Notes
- Makes enough for six cupcakes.
- The kind of butter you choose will make a slight difference to the texture. Oil-based vegan butter may melt more.
- Make sure to have your butter at room temperature before trying to whip it. Otherwise, it will create a chunky texture.
- Vanilla bean paste can be used in place of vanilla extract.
- Likewise, as the protein frosting warms up, it will melt slightly because of the coconut oil.
- Pop your desserts in the fridge to firm up slightly after frosting.
