Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (3 sticks) vegan butter, at room temperature
- ¼ cup non-dairy milk, at room temperature, plus more as needed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 4-5 cups organic powdered sugar
Instructions
- Place the butter into a large mixing bowl, and beat it at high-speed with an electric mixer, until creamy.
- Beat in the non-dairy milk, in two additions, beating each addition in fully before adding the next.
- Beat in the vanilla extract.
- Beat in the cocoa powder until fully incorporated into the mixture.
- Begin beating in the powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Continue adding the powdered sugar until you're happy with the consistency and taste of your frosting (4-5 cups total). If you find you've added too much, thin the frosting with a tiny bit (a tablespoon or less) of non-dairy milk.
- Use immediately, or store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks, or in the freezer for 3 months.
