Healthier Dairy-Free Buttercream
This Healthier Dairy-Free Buttercream is made with vegan butter and a homemade powdered sugar that's sweetened with honey. It has a rich, creamy and buttery/cream cheese flavor with the perfect amount of sweetness and a hint of vanilla.
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan butter
- 2 cups tapioca starch
- 6 tablespoons honey or to taste
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 vanilla bean optional
- 1-2 tablespoons plant milk such as unsweetened/unflavored almond milk, optional
Instructions
- Set the vegan butter out on the counter to thaw. It should take about 15 minutes. You just want it to be thawed enough to be mixed with a hand mixer or a stand mixer.
- Place the vegan butter in a bowl if using a hand mixer. If you're using a stand mixer, add the attachment to catch the powder from flying everywhere. It is messy!
- Slowly add the tapioca starch, about ¼ cup at a time, until well incorporated.
- Add in the vanilla extract, vanilla bean and honey.
- Prepare your piping bag and place the buttercream in the bag.
- Pipe onto cupcakes or spread on your cake of choice and enjoy!
