Non-Dairy Frosting
CHOCOLATE
Ingredients:
1/4 cup dairy-free buttery spread
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla (gluten-free vanilla flavoring works well)
2 cups confectioners' sugar
4 tablespoons water
With electric mixer, beat dairy-free buttery spread on high until fluffy. Beat in cocoa powder and vanilla on low. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar, alternating with water, until desired thickness is achieved. If a thinner frosting is desired, increase water. If a thicker one is desired, decrease water.
VANILLA
Omit cocoa powder, increase confectioners' sugar to 2 1/2 cups.
ORANGE
Omit cocoa powder, replace vanilla with orange extract. Increase confectioners' sugar to 2 1/2 cups. Add 1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel. Substitute orange juice for the water.
LEMON
Omit cocoa powder and vanilla. Increase sugar to 2 1/2 cups. Add 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel. Substitute 1 tablespoon lemon juice for 1 tablespoon of the water.
