Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting 🍋Doesn’t that sound yummy? This lemony luscious frosting is the epitome of the ‘icing on the cake’!
When I was a kid, if I had a sweet tooth, sometimes I would make myself a little batch of frosting. No cake. Just frosting. A couple spoonfuls and I was satisfied. The idea kind of horrifies me now, but who am I kidding? Right at this moment, I could go for a spoonful of this luscious lemony frosting. In fact, just thinking about it makes me want to bake a carrot cake so that I can justify making a batch of this frosting.

Can you decorate with vegan cream cheese frosting?
Yes you can! Part of the joy of this simple frosting is the fun you can have decorating with it. I recently bought an inexpensive & amazing set of pastry bags and piping tips to play with. One thing I’ve discovered is it’s important to keep the frosting cold and a bit on the thick side when you use piping tips. Otherwise, if the frosting is too soft, the piping details will melt. Be sure to refrigerate your cake or cupcakes until you’re ready to serve.
This super simple recipe makes enough frosting for at least 24 cupcakes or one 9″ x 13″ single layer cake.
