We have found a great way to make a vegan “butter cream” frosting that’s made with only 3 ingredients! The main ingredient may surprise you, there’s no butter here!
The base of this frosting is actually made with the liquid from canned chickpeas, also known as aquafaba.
All you have to do is beat the aquafaba with an electric mixture till it’s super thick and creamy, then add in icing sugar and vanilla extract! It can take a while for the aquafaba to whip up, but the mixer does all the hard work for you! So you can bake some delicious desserts in the meantime 😉
See how simple it is to make in the video below!
Looking for more vegan desserts? Try our famous Plant-based Pumpkin Pie or Banana Walnut Loaf. This frosting would go perfect on either!
