Instructions

  1. 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 butter on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  2. Slowly add the confectioner’s sugar while continuously beating the vegan butter. Add in the lemon juice and vanilla extract and beat for an additional three minutes until light and fluffy.

Notes

  • This frosting is thicker and best used for piping. If you’d like it to be a little smoother, add in more plant-based milk by the teaspoon until you reach your desired consistency.
