DAIRY-FREE VANILLA FROSTING RECIPE
1/4 cup dairy-free butter
1/4 cup solid coconut oil or shortening
1-3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla (affiliate)
This can be made with soy-free & dairy-free margarine, as well.
Mix butter and coconut oil/shortening with a mixer.
Add vanilla.
Slowly add powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time.
Beat on high speed until icing consistency is reached. If it’s too thick, add dairy-free milk 1/4 tsp. at a time.
This can be a little temperamental depending on the season and room temperatures.
If it’s summer, you will do best to use chilled butter and coconut oil.
If it’s winter, room temp works and dairy-free milk may need added.
Store frosted cupcakes in the refrigerator.

Wondering what you mean by “chunky” sprinkles? The ones that are little short logs rather than tiny round balls? Any guidance on the sprinkles would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I'm sorry, Mae. Maybe "larger" is the word for it. :) We use the ones on top of tubs of Pillsbury frosting. Hope that helps!

To I decided to use your recipe for my daycare class party because I have two children that have allergies to Dairy and eggs. When I mixed up the batter placed it in my cupcake pans they kind of became a volcano while baking. I threw them away made another batch that that's came out perfect. So I decided to make more I made another batch as well and that bats became of volcano as well. I followed the instructions step by step and that was my results twice. Is there anything that I should have done different?

Hi Lindsay, you are right. Vanilla is yummy! :) We have never had a problem with it, but of course it can be easily left out. I link to our favorite because it's been tried and true for our milk and nut allergies. :)
