Best Easy Dairy Free Vanilla Frosting
Author: Laura @ Petite Allergy Treats
Ingredients
- 1½ cups dairy free shortening (I use palm)
- 2½- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- pinch of salt optional
Instructions
- Sift powdered sugar to remove any lumps.
- Cream shortening with a high speed mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 10-12 minutes.
- Add vanilla and salt. Gradually add powdered sugar in ¼ cup increments until to desired stiffness. Scrape down bowl every so often to endure even mixing. See note
- Store unused frosting in refrigerator for 1 week or freezer for 1 month. Allow to reach room temperature before using.
Notes
Using palm shortening as mention within the post above can vary in thickness depending up use of the frosting. For decorating designs like rosettes, a stiffer frosting is needed.
The sugar content in this frosting is a little lower since you cannot use water or dairy free milks to even things out. See the post above and read about emulsion.
