Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup crisco (vegetable shortening)
- 2 sticks vegan butter
- 2 lbs (32 oz) powdered sugar
- 3 Tbsp Oat milk (any plant based milk is fine but be careful if using a nut milk if making for people with allergies.)
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract (pure (if adding food coloring I would suggest using a clear extract))
Instructions
- Allow your vegan butter to sit out at room temperature for an hour or so or unwrap and microwave until SLIGHTLY softened (NOT melted).
- Combine one cup of crisco and 2 cups of butter in the bowl of your mixture and turn on.
- Allow the crisco and butter mixture to cream for a minute or so until mixed together well and no longer clumpy.
- Next, pour in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 3 Tablespoons of oat milk and continue to whip for an additional minute.
- Turn off your mixture and add in half the powdered sugar. I would suggest starting low and slow.
Slowly turn up your speed until combined and again, turn the mixture off. - Add in the rest of the powdered sugar and repeat until fluffy and all ingredients are combined, scraping the bowl as needed.
- Depending on your location and humidity levels you might need to add in an additional tablespoon of oat milk to soften.
- Use to decorate cakes, pipe beautiful designs, or fill yummy cookie sandwiches. Enjoy!
