Dairy Free Frosting?

Question

can anyone give me a good, fast recipe for dairy free icing/frosting... no milk, or butter please!

Answer 1

one of my favorites...

Coconut Pecan Frosting

1/2 cup vegan margarine (Smart Balance)
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
1 cup pecans
1/2 cup soy milk (or coconut milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Boil together all ingredients in a medium to large saucepan over medium-high heat for 12 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden (or plastic) spoon.

Pour then spread on cake while frosting is still warm.
Let set up for a few minutes before serving (sets up faster if you cover it and place it in the fridge).

Answer 2

Jelly Frosting (not vegan)
Very creamy in spite of the fact that it has no dairy.

1 egg white
1/2 cup jelly

Mix egg white and jelly in a metal bowl set over simmering water. Beat steadily with a rotarty or electric beater until the mixture is stiff--about 3 to 5 minutes. You will have enough to frost an 8-inch two layer cake or 24 cupcakes.


Really good:
5 TBSP vegan margarine
5 TBSP confectioners sugar
3 TBSP jam or jelly (which is almost always vegan; pectin comes from apples--I had to look that up recently and thought I'd share)

Combine in a small bowl and beat until smooth. Makes about 2/3 a cup.

Seven-Minute Frosting (not vegan):
Very sweet and very fluffy.

3/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
pinch of salt
2 egg whites
1/4 c. cold water
2 tsp. vanilla extract

Combine the sugar, cream of tartar, salt, egg whites and water in a mixing bowl of at least 2-quart capacity or the top of a large double boiler. Set over simmering, not boiling, water on low heat. Beat w/ a rotary or electric hand beater until the frosting stands in peaks, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the water and continue beating for a few minutes, to stiffen the frsoting a bit more; it should stand in smooth, billowy peaks. Beat in the vanilla. You will have enough to generously fill and frost and 8- or 9-inch two-layer cake or a 9- or 10- inch tube cake. Swirl the back of a spoon all over the frosted cake for a pretty finish.

7-minute vairations: Substitute 3/4 c. brown sugar for the granulated sugar for caramel frsoting

Stire 3/4 cup shredded coconut into finished frosting

After removing from heat, before final beating, add 1 TBSP powdered instant coffee

Answer 6

1/2 cup shortening
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup soy milk.
1 tsp vanilla.

Melt the shortening, and add the sugar and soymilk alternately, while beating at medium speed. Add 2/3 cup cocoa powder to the shortening to make it chocolate, if you want chocolate.

It's not quite as tasty, but it will do. :)
