Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Yields: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup vegan cream cheese (60 g; make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature)
  • 8 tablespoons vegan butter (112 g, or 1 stick; make sure the butter is at room temperature)
  • 2 cups confectioner's sugar (230g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Place the butter and cream cheese in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or place them into a large mixing bowl and use a hand mixer.
  • Mix on medium speed for 3 minutes, or until the butter and cream cheese are very smooth and well incorporated.
  • Stop the mixer and add the sugar to the bowl. Mix the frosting on low speed for 2 minutes, then raise the speed to medium low. Beat for another 2-3 minutes, or until the frosting is very smooth and a bit fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla extract to the bowl, then beat the frosting for another 30 seconds to incorporate the vanilla fully.
  • Use the frosting right away, or store it in the fridge for up to 1 week. Be sure to bring it to room temperature before using it for decoration.
