Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting
This easy vegan cream cheese frosting is rich, smooth, and perfectly tangy, with a texture that spreads and pipes beautifully. Made in just 10 minutes, it’s the perfect finishing touch for cakes, cupcakes, and baked desserts.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces vegan cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup vegan butter (softened)
- 4 cups powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt (optional - boosts flavor)
- 1 - 2 teaspoons lemon juice (optional - for slight tang)
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat the vegan cream cheese and vegan butter together until smooth.
- Mix in vanilla and salt.
- Add powder sugar 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. (If too thick, add a tiny splash of plant-based milk. If too soft, add more powdered sugar.)
- (optional tang boost) Add a little lemon juice if you want a more classic cream cheese flavor.
