Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the non-dairy butter until completely smooth, scraping the bowl down using a rubber spatula a couple of times throughout the process.
1 ½ Cups Dairy-Free Butter, room temperature
Add all the sifted powdered sugar and mix on low until combined.
6 Cups Powdered Sugar, Sifted
With the mixer running on medium-low speed, stream in the maple syrup. Then, stop the mixer and scrape the bowl down using a rubber spatula.

Return the mixer to medium-low speed and stream in the bourbon. Continue mixing until well combined and fluffy, about 30 seconds, and use as desired.

Notes

This recipe makes about 4 cups of frosting. It is enough to frost:

2 ½-3 dozen cupcakes
An 8-inch 2-layer cake

I prefer grade B maple syrup over grade A for this recipe. Grade B has a more robust flavor.
