The Magic Ingredients
- 1/2 cup nonhydrogenated shortening

- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted if clumpy
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup plain soy milk or soy creamer
Bringing it All Together
Beat the shortening and margarine together until well combined and fluffy. Then, add the sugar and beat for about 3 more minutes. Finally, add the vanilla and soy milk, and beat for another 5 to 7 minutes until the frosting reaches its signature fluffiness.
A Delicious Twist: Cookies ‘n’ Cream Frosting
Take your frosting game to the next level by stirring in 1/2 cup of finely mashed vegan chocolate cream-filled sandwich cookies, like Newman-O’s. Frost your cupcakes generously, and top each one with half of a sandwich cookie for a show-stopping treat.
