Equipment

1 Stand Mixer with Paddle Attachment Or hand mixer and a large bowl
1 Rubber Spatula
1 Sifter
Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients

16 tablespoon Vegan Butter, room temperature see note!
4 Cups Powdered Sugar, Sifted
2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 tablespoon Non-Dairy Milk

Instructions

Cream the vegan butter in the bowl of your mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until its completely smooth and creamy. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the bowl down a couple of times during this process so everything mixes evenly.
16 tablespoon Vegan Butter, room temperature
Add the powdered sugar and mix on low until its combined, about 1 minute.
4 Cups Powdered Sugar, Sifted
Add vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of non-dairy milk and mix on low until fully incorporated. Then add the remaining tablespoon of milk and mix on low to incorporate.
2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract, 2 tablespoon Non-Dairy Milk
Now, turn the mixer to medium speed and mix until its light and fluffy, 30 seconds- 1 minute.
Use as desired.

Notes

Be sure to use a vegan butter that comes in stick form. My two top recommendations are: Soy-Free Earth Balance Buttery Sticks and Country Crock Plant Butter Sticks.

Scrape the bowl down with a rubber spatula at every step in this process for the creamiest buttercream!
