10856 Vegan Fluffy Buttercream Frosting 8 minutes 8 minutes 4 cups Thu Feb 01 17:16:00 -0800 2007 Thu Feb 28 15:31:12 -0800 2008 American Licensed http://www.chow.com/recipes/10856 Thu, 28 Feb 2008 23:31:12 GMT A light and delicious frosting, and it's vegan! A light and delicious frosting, and guess what? It's vegan! This is our all-purpose “go-to” vegan frosting. It’s great for piping into lush, swirling mountains of frostiness, and just as good for spreading onto a cupcake like rolling hills of heaven. This recipe makes a lot, so you can halve it if you are going to be spreading the frosting rather than piping it. It’s especially delicious adorned with some chocolate sandwich cookies and put atop our tender Basic (Vegan) Chocolate Cupcake.

    • Variation: Cookies ‘n’ Cream Frosting (pictured): Stir into frosting 1/2 cup (about 5 cookies; mash first, then measure) of finely mashed vegan chocolate cream-filled sandwich cookies, like Newman-O’s. Frost cupcakes generously, and top each cupcake with half of a sandwich cookie.
