Sweet Vegan Vanilla Frosting

Because sometimes you just need the perfect vanilla frosting to top your cupcakes or even your cookie cakes! This frosting recipe is easy and the results are creamy and dreamy. I hope you love it, too!

Here’s how to make it:

1. Using an electric stand or hand mixer, cream the shortening on a medium speed for about 30 seconds.
2. Then, add half of the powdered sugar and half of the milk and mix for another 30 seconds.
3. Next, add the salt and remaining sugar and milk.  Mix again for another 30 seconds. If you feel the frosting should be slightly thicker, add a spoonful or so more of powdered sugar.  For slightly thinner frosting, add a splash of milk – but be careful – a little goes a long way!
