How To Make Buttercream Frosting | Dessert Recipe | The Ultimate Chef

YIELD: 4 CUPS

A standard in any dessert lover’s arsenal, this recipe works exceptionally well with either margarine or coconut oil. If you opt for the latter, add a pinch of salt and keep slightly chilled.

________________________________________________________________

Ingredients

6 tablespoons non dairy margarine or coconut oil (cold)

6 cups confectioners sugar

2 to 3 teaspoons vanilla extract

6 tablespoons non dairy milk

2 additional tablespoons softened non-dairy margarine or coconut oil

________________________________________________________________

Directions

  • Cream together the 6 tablespoons margarine and about ½ cup of the confectioner’s sugar.
  • Gradually add in other ingredients, except the softened margarine.
  • Once all the other ingredients have been combined and are fairly smooth, add in softened margarine.
  • Mix on very high speed, using a whisk attachment, whipping until fluffy.
  • Use immediately on the cake, or chill in the fridge for later use.
  • If refrigerated, make sure you let it soften slightly by setting the icing out at room temperature just until it is softened enough to spread easily onto the cake.
  • If you find the icing too thick, add a touch more non-dairy milk to thin.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
