This frosting is perfect for frosting dairy-free cakes and cupcakes for birthdays, showers, weddings or any special occasion where there will be a variety of diets and allergies present. Feel free to substitute the vanilla extract for another flavoring of your choice, such as lemon juice, orange juice, almond extract or maple extract.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup dairy-free soy margarine (such as Willow Run)
  • 4 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 t. vanilla extract
  • 2 T. plain unsweetened almond milk or soymilk
  • 1 T. plain soy yogurt

I halved the recipe, but forgot to halve the yoghurt and soya milk but we loved the way it came out. BEAUTIFULLY creamy. Amazing. A keeper. (I'm in South Africa so I used Wooden Spoon dairy-free baking margerine and Woolworths' Vanilla Soya Yoghurt, instead of plain).
