Ingredients needed to make Chocolate Dairy Free Frosting…
Vegan Butter: Earth’s Balance is my favorite, but I’ve used many kinds and they all work amazingly.
Vegetable Shortening: Spectrum Shortening is my go-to, but I have used good ‘ol Crisco when I couldn’t get any.
Vanilla
Cocoa Powder
Dairy Free Milk: Coconut is my favorite, but almond, cashew, oat, they all work great!
Directions for making Vegan Chocolate Buttercream:
In your stand mixer cream the butter and shortening
Add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, beat for 1 minute and med/low speed
Add the vanilla and milk
Continue to blend for 3 or so minutes with the speed on high, scraping the sides halfway. The frosting is done when it’s light, fluffy and there are no clumps.
