Vanilla extract is also an option, but it won't give you those gorgeous vanilla specs! 🥣 How To Make Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting You can however use a teaspoon of vanilla bean paste in its place if you have it to hand. Vanilla: I highly recommend using a real vanilla pod to get the best results for this particular vanilla cream cheese frosting. Icing sugar: Regular icing sugar does the job here, make sure you sift it to remove any lumps before adding it to the frosting. Vegan cream cheese: I use violife, but you can use any vegan-friendly cream cheese that’s available to you

Vegan butter:Â I usually use flora unsalted plant butter, which works perfectly for any vegan buttercream recipes I've tried. I also find the additional sugar unnecessary, once the butter is whipped up correctly it creates an emulsion that is soft and airy yet perfect for piping straight from the bowl.

That's because well, personally I don't like overly sweet buttercream and I'm pretty sure that I'm not alone on that. This recipe calls for less sugar than a lot of other cream cheese frosting recipes you'll find. This makes this dairy-free frosting irresistibly smooth and delicate while still being suitable for piping. In this vegan cream cheese frosting recipe, non-dairy butter is whipped until light and airy before incorporating any of the other ingredients.
