Ingredients

  • 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter sticks, softened
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

  • Place the softened vegan butter in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Whisk together the sifted powdered sugar and cocoa powder in a separate bowl to ensure no lumps remain.
  • Add the sugar and cocoa mixture to the butter in 1/2 cup increments, mixing on low speed until combined.
  • Add the vanilla extract and sea salt to the mixture.
  • Pour in the almond milk one tablespoon at a time while continuing to mix on low speed.
  • Once all ingredients are incorporated, increase the mixer speed to high and beat for 2 minutes until the frosting is smooth and airy.
  • Adjust consistency by adding more powdered sugar to thicken or more almond milk to thin as required for piping or spreading.
