- 1/4 cup (50ml) soy whipping cream
- 1–2 tsp almond extract
- 1/3 cup (35g) freshly ground almond (optional)
Instructions
- Add vegan butter to your stand mixer and beat on medium to high speed for a few minutes until it becomes light, fluffy, and pale.
- Add in the ground almonds (if using) and half of the icing sugar. Beat again on low speed until smooth.
- Pour in the rest of the icing sugar and continue beating.
- Add the soy whipping cream and almond extract, and beat again on high speed for a few minutes until the frosting is silky smooth, fluffy, and spreadable. Scrape the sides as needed to ensure everything is incorporated very well. Enjoy!
Notes
Underbeating can result in frosting that is too soft to frost or pipe.
If your frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon more of plant cream or plant milk.
Add a bit more icing sugar or rest the frosting in the fridge if too thin.
