Ingredients You Need
Ultimate Dairy-Free Strawberry Frosting Recipe
- 1 cup unsalted vegan butter, softened
- 3 3/4 cups powdered sugar, add more if needed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3-4 tablespoons vegan heavy cream or dairy-free milk, add more if needed
- ¼ teaspoon salt, if using salted vegan butter, omit salt
- 6- 8 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberry powder
Instructions How to Make Our Homemade Dairy-Free Strawberry Frosting
Ultimate Strawberry Frosting Recipe
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, mix together the softened butter, the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and some of the heavy cream/milk until the mixture starts to become frosting.
- Add the freeze-dried strawberry powder and start mixing again, starting with 6 tablespoons and 1 to 2 more tablespoons of strawberry powder if you want even more strawberry flavor! I went for the full 8 tablespoons! Add more heavy cream/milk as needed and mix together for 3-5 minutes .
- If you want a stiffer frosting add more powdered sugar and if you want a creamier texture add more heavy cream/milk. I like it creamier so I can pipe the frosting onto cupcakes and cakes more easily.
Frosting Tips
- Make sure your vegan butter is softened before you start making your vegan buttercream frosting , that way your frosting is smooth and creamy, instead of lumpy with chunks of butter.
- If your freeze-dried strawberry powder is super lumpy, you can sift it, as well as doing the same with the powdered sugar, so when you mix everything all together you get a smooth, creamy frosting.
- If you’re piping this frosting onto desserts, it is better to have a creamy texture than a stiff texture. Add more vegan heavy cream or non-dairy milk in small increments to get it to the consistency you want!
Storing Dairy-Free Strawberry Frosting
- Strawberry frosting made with freeze-dried strawberry powder will keep at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week or longer.
More Variations
- Switch up the frosting flavor by substituting freeze-dried flavors like blueberry, raspberry, mango and more!
- Same with the cupcakes! Choose other berry flavors or fruit flavors to your cupcakes in small chunks for the best desired consistency.
- Want a strawberry vegan cream cheese frosting? Just add 2-4 tablespoons of softened cream cheese to your frosting!
In conclusion, creating the ultimate vegan strawberry frosting is not only delicious, but it also aligns with our values of using simple and plant-based ingredients. You can create a decadent and guilt-free vegan frosting with freeze-dried strawberries that will satisfy all the taste buds in the room!
