Dairy-Free Cream Cheese Frosting
Try this easy Dairy-Free Cream Cheese Frosting that’s rich, smooth, and made with love for those with dairy sensitivities.
Ingredients
- 1 8 oz container dairy-free cream cheese let sit out for 20 minutes before using
- 1 stick dairy-free butter softened, but not overly soft
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by placing the butter and cream cheese in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix them together until they reach a smooth consistency.
- Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar, adding it in 2-cup portions. After each addition, mix on low speed until the sugar is somewhat integrated, then increase to medium speed until fully combined (about 1 minute).
- Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, blend in the vanilla extract and mix until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to maintain the right texture.
- The final result should be a rich and creamy frosting. If it isn't thick and creamy enough, it might not stay put on your desserts. Consult the tips section for advice on adjustments.
