Recipe Tips
Small-batch Vegan Buttercream
With a recipe like this, you don’t need a lot of buttercream to do it, and most recipes out there will leave you with heaps of extra afterwards (not always a bad thing, but there is an alternative). So, when making small-batch vegan buttercream at home, try using these measurements:
2 tbsp vegan butter
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 cup icing sugar
1 tbsp full fat coconut milk
Cream together the butter and icing sugar, then add in the vanilla and milk and whip until fluffy. Adding more icing sugar to achieve a thicker frosting or (tiny amounts at a time of) milk to thin it out. It’ll blow your mind! Love it? Good news! You can still double or triple this recipe to make it perfect for icing a cake.
