Simple Vegan Icing Food

SIMPLE VEGAN ICING

Steps:

• Beat the shortening and confectioners' sugar together until the shortening has been incorporated, and the mixture is clumpy. Pour in the soy milk and vanilla extract; beat until smooth.

VEGAN BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

• Beat 1 cup of vegan butter on a medium speed for 30 seconds with a paddle attachment or hand mixer until smooth.
• Mix in 1 Tbsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste on a low speed. If desired, add in an additional tsp of almond, coconut, or lemon extract.
• Slowly mix in 3 cups of powdered sugar and 1 Tbsp of alternative milk on a low speed.
• Mix on low for a couple minutes until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the desired consistency is reached.
• If the frosting seems too thick, add in additional dairy free milk (1 tsp at a time). If the frosting is too thin, add in more powdered sugar (1/4 cup at a time).
• Then use as desired! I love using this buttercream to frost cupcakes and cakes.

FLUFFY CREAMY VEGAN FROSTING

Steps:

• Food Processor Instructions:.
• Pulse the margarine in a food processor, scraping down the sides as needed.
• Add the soymilk and vanilla extract and pulse a few more times. Do not worry if it's not totally blended yet.
• Add the powdered sugar in three or so portions. Add one third and blend. Add another third and blend. Add the last bit and whirl it until fully incorporated and the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
• Add vanilla extract and whirl it around another few seconds.
• Spread on cakes, cupcakes, cookies, ritz crackers, whatever suits your fancy!
• Mixer Instructions, more or less as posted on the Post Punk Kitchen website:.
• Melt the margarine. I put it in a small bowl and microwave it, then use a plastic spatula to get it all out into the metal bowl.
• Add powdered sugar and soymilk, then beat on medium for about a minute, or until it's a good consistency for spreading.
• Stir in extracts and frost away!
• ALSO suggested:
• The original recipe is for chocolate frosting - add 2/3 cup cocoa powder before adding sugar in either form of preparation, and add 1 1/2 tsp almond extract with the vanilla.
• This would also be lovely with a little citrus zest - add orange or lemon zest with the extracts.

VEGAN BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Beat shortening and vegan butter together with an electric mixer until well combined and fluffy. Add powdered sugar and beat for about 3 minutes more.
• Add hemp milk and vanilla extract; continue beating until fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes.

VEGAN COFFEE-BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• For the coffee: I just use a bit of instant and brew it about double or triple strength.
• For best results, pre-measure the ingredients. You can pour the vanilla in with the coffee.
• Place the vegan butter sub in a med-large mixing bowl; set hand mixer on low speed and beat till 'fluffy' (whippy is more like the right word here).
• Gradually add the powdered sugar, stopping the mixer to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. You can also begin to add dribbles of coffee as needed to moisten.
• Continue until it has reached your desired consistency; should be light and fluffy. Frost your cupcakes/cake/biscuits and enjoy!

VEGAN ROYAL ICING (HOW TO DECORATE SUGAR COOKIES)

Steps:

• Bake and cool the sugar cookies in the shape that you desire.
• this will be to prevent the more liquid royal icing from running over the cookie. Mix together the powdered sugar with 2-3 tbsp of aquafaba to start. Add more if you need help creating more of a paste than a liquid and runny royal icing. If you are making multiple colors, such as the snowman's hat, you'll divid some of the vegan royal icing into a separate bowl and add the coloring. Spoon the icing into a piping bag and cut the very end of the tip with scissors. Pipe a clean border around the sugar cookie that will block the vegan royal icing from flooding.
• towel. This will prevent the royal icing from hardening.
• in the same bowl, add another tablespoon of aquafaba and mix until the royal icing easily drips from the spoon. If you need more aquafaba, add in a tbsp at a time- you don't want to make it too drippy, or it will thin. Do this for all of the colors that you've made, and spoon the icing into another piping bag. Cut the tip of the piping bag and fill the middles of your cookie only a little to start. Then use a toothpick to carefully push the royal icing to the border that we made in Step 2.
• Allow the royal icing to set for 15 minutes before you pipe more royal icing on top (like a scarf, facial features, mittens etc.).
• Allow the cookies to finish setting for 15 minutes and enjoy! Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
