Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl if you’re using a handheld electric mixer), add the room temperature vegan butter. Whisk the vegan butter on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Slowly add the confectioner’s sugar while continuously beating the vegan butter. Add in the plant-based milk and vanilla extract and beat for an additional three minutes until light and fluffy.

Notes
- Sift the powdered sugar: To avoid lumps or grittiness in the frosting.
- Use softened vegan butter: It must be at room temperature to beat quickly and smoothly into light and fluffy vegan vanilla buttercream frosting.
- Adjust the consistency: If the frosting is too thick, add dairy-free milk/cream (one teaspoon at a time - add too much, and the vegan frosting may split). If it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar.
- If it's over-whipped: Use a wooden spoon to knock out excess air in the dairy-free buttercream.
