There are so many people that have allergies and want to avoid certain ingredients. But sometimes you just don’t know what you can substitute or know which one to use.

I had to make some cupcakes last week that was dairy-free and gluten-free. They wanted a chocolate cupcake and a chocolate ganache and vanilla buttercream frosting.

The only ingredient I had to go and get was the earth balance butter sticks. They do cost a little more than dairy butter, but they have the same consistency and therefore, make it easier to make the frosting so it’s not too runny.

They taste pretty much the same as regular vanilla buttercream. You will really enjoy cupcakes made with this non-dairy frosting.

1/4 cup coconut oil
3 cups confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Add confectioners sugar 1 cup at a time.
Add the vanilla.
Add the salt.

Frost cupcake and place leftover frosting in an airtight container and refrigerate.

Notes

Using Refined Coconut oil gives it a neutral flavor. If you purchase unrefined oil, it will have a coconut taste to it.

You can use regular confectioners sugar or use a sugar alternative like Swerve or Monk Fruit. You can find these on Amazon or your local health food store.
