Vanilla Frosting

Creamy, ‘buttery’, sweet. This is the icing of birthday parties and is my standard vanilla icing recipe for all of our cakes and cupcakes. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. I also usually keep any leftovers in my freezer in case I need some in a pinch. Thaw to room temperature and quickly reblend in mixer.

Beat the shortening in a stand mixer until smooth. Turn the mixer down to low and slowly add powdered sugar, vanilla and plant based milk 1 tbsp at a time until it reaches a spreadable consistency.You may not need all of the milk.
