Ingredient notes

• Powdered sugar or confectioners’ sugar: although you can use it store-bought, I really suggest you make your own version at home following our recipe. It’s easy, simple, and quick!
• Unsweetened plant milk: any type of unsweetened non-dairy milk is okay, but I always use soy milk for this recipe.
• Vanilla extract: I like to use homemade vanilla extract as it’s more affordable and extremely easy to make, but store-bought is also a good choice.

Dietary variations

• Make it soy-free: use any type of plant milk or replace it with fresh orange or lemon juice to get orange or lemon icing.

How to make vegan icing

• In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, plant milk, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
• Use your vegan icing immediately.

How to store

• Fridge: best when fresh, keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Freezer: keep it in an airtight container in the freezer for 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then give it a quick mix.

Serving suggestions

This amount of icing is perfect for 1 batch of vegan cinnamon rolls, vegan scones, and even your favorite kind of cupcakes. For a larger batch, this recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.
