Ingredients

½ cup dairy free soy free butter, completely softened (Country Crock Plant Butter or Earth Balance Soy Free work great)
3 cups powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons rice milk (or other dairy free milk)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dash salt

Instructions

In a large bowl, beat the dairy free butter with a hand mixer or stand mixer until creamy, then add half the powdered sugar and blend.
1/2 cup dairy free soy free butter, completely softened, 1.5 cups powdered sugar
Add the other half of the powdered sugar, along with the rice milk, vanilla, and dash of salt and beat until creamy. You can use 1 Tablespoon of rice milk to make this thicker, but we found this is silkier and smoother with 2 Tablespoons of rice milk.
2 Tablespoons rice milk, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, Dash salt, 1.5 cups powdered sugar
Beat the frosting until it is silky, smooth, and creamy, and a good consistency for piping if you are decorating with a piping bag and frosting tips.
Use the frosting to top cakes or cookies. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
