Step 1

Place the vegan butter in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until it becomes light and fluffy. Alternatively, you can use a regular large bowl and a hand mixer.

Step 2

Add the vegan cream cheese and beat for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until incorporated.

Step 3

Incorporate the vanilla extract and the salt and beat to combine.

Step 4

With the mixer on low, gradually add the powdered sugar, ½ cup (60 grams) at a time, and continue mixing until thick and creamy. Add more powdered sugar if needed.

Step 5

I usually refrigerate the frosting to let it firm up before using it for at least 20-30 minutes, but you can also frost your cake or cupcakes right away and then refrigerate them until the frosting sets.
