Vegan Buttercream Icing
Description
Vegan Buttercream Icing is made by whipping vegan margarine until fluffy, then gradually incorporating icing sugar to form a smooth base. Vanilla extract adds a subtle sweet flavor, while a small amount of rice milk helps achieve a spreadable, light consistency without overpowering the taste. The method involves using a mixer to ensure the margarine and sugar blend thoroughly for a creamy texture suitable for decorating.
The icing is chilled to help it set before decorating, ensuring it holds shape on cakes or cupcakes. This buttercream offers a plant-based option for vegan baking without compromising the traditional buttery texture and sweetness expected from icing.
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan margarine Becel brand
- 3 teaspoons of vanilla
- 4 cups icing sugar Rogers is a vegan brand!
- 1-3 teaspoons rice milk
Instructions
- Using a stand mixer or hand beaters, whip the margarine until fluffy.
- Slowly add in the icing sugar until it's combined well.
- Add in your vanilla.
- At this point, check your consistency. Margarine isn't as dense as butter, so my amount of rice milk is very small. Is your icing nice and whippy at this point? Try maybe a slight teaspoon of rice milk. I chose rice milk because it's virtually tasteless, allowing the vanilla to flavor the icing instead. I would not use soy because of the after taste you can get with it.
- Once you are happy with the consistency, place in the refrigerator until you are going to decorate.
Notes
- Choose a vegan icing sugar brand like Red Path or Rogers to ensure the icing remains vegan.
- Rice milk is preferred over soy milk for adjusting consistency, as it does not add an aftertaste.
- Chill the icing before use to help it firm up and maintain shape when decorating.
