Easy Gluten Free Vegan Frosting Recipe

Looking for a gluten free and vegan frosting recipe that is only 4 ingredients and super easy to make? This recipe makes enough frosting for about 18 sugar cookies. You'll want to double the recipe if frosting a cake or cupcakes.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings: 18 cookies
Course: Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup Earth Balance Soy Free Buttery Spread Butter
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
  • 3/4 tsp Vanilla

Method
 

  1. Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer works the best, we prefer using our stand mixer.
  2. Cream the vegan butter in the bowl of the stand mixer or using a hand mixer, on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  3. Using a sifter, sift the powdered sugar over the bowl with the creamed vegan butter.
  4. Beat sifted sugar and vegan butter to combine.
  5. Add in almond milk and vanilla, then mix again.
  6. If you want it to be thinner you can add more milk, just a little at a time.
  7. Once it's to the consistency you'd like, you're done and ready to frost!
  8. Use the frosting within 3 days stored at room temp or store in fridge for a couple of weeks. If you store in the fridge before frosting cookies, a cake, or cupcakes you'll want to take it out of the fridge to let it soften up a bit before using it.
  9. This recipe makes enough frosting for about 18 sugar cookies. You'll want to double the recipe if frosting a cake or cupcakes.

Notes

This recipe will work for a batch of sugar cookies though you'll want to double it if you want to frost a cake or cupcakes. We've used this recipe on cookies, a gingerbread house, cake, cupcakes, basically anything that could ever need frosting. It's simple and delicious!!
