Vegan Buttercream or Glaze

Jump to Recipe
Vegan Buttercream or Glaze

Cupcakes and cakes are wonderful – plain, drizzled with caramel sauce, or topped with icing. Here are our favourite recipes for vegan icing.

Three types of dairy free icing work nicely on cupcakes – the fluffy vegan buttercream, a stiffer version for decorating, or a lovely glaze for drizzling.

Dairy Free Icing Options

Here are our two favourite icings - Dairy free 'buttercream' and Glaze.

Vegan Buttercream or Glaze Allergy Mums
Ingredients
  • Buttercream
  • 3/4 cup non dairy margarine (Pure Sunflower is good)
  • 3 1/2 cups icing sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup non dairy milk
  • Glaze
  • 1 cup sifted icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tbsp Rice Dream or hot water
  • Just mix with a fork.
Directions
Step 1
Buttercream
Step 2
If you’re after lime – use lime juice, orange flavour – orange juice…you get the idea. For chocolate add in 1/4 cup of cocoa for a light chocolate, or 1/3 for a richer chocolate icing. I find kids prefer the lighter version. If I’m doing chocolate icing then I add in a teaspoon of chocolate essence, if I’m doing orange icing then I add in 1 tsp of orange essence, same for coconut, mint or lemon.
Step 3
Beat the margarine until fluffy – If you want a thicker icing for decorating then replace half the dairy free margarine with Trex Vegetable Fat and it will be much firmer. The firm buttercream is what you need if you are doing flowers or any decoration that needs to ‘hold’. Add the sugar and beat for about 3 minutes (I have to scrape down the side of the bowl with a spatula, or I get covered with icing sugar when I put the beaters in). Add the vanilla (and any other flavouring you are using) and non dairy milk or flavouring liquid of your choice. Beat for another 5 minutes until fluffy.
Step 4
You can then pipe this onto the cupcakes. If you don’t have a piping bag and fancy nozzles don’t worry. Grab a sandwich bag, clip off a corner and load it with icing. You can then pipe away quite happily.

Easy Bean Salad

Easy Bean Salad

We love Bean Salad, its just a nice change from a green salad. Packed with protein and simple to do – a lot of opening of tins involved! A simple salad that’s great with a BBQ   If you’ve got a BBQ going and want something nice on it – do try these Duck Skewers.

Duck Skewers

BBQ Duck Skewers

The weather is fine, the BBQ is out and it’s time to pop something other than a sausage on the BBQ.  Skewers are always popular – I like to cut the meat into strips rather than chunks as it cooks more evenly. Duck is amazing on a BBQ – full of flavour and quick to […]

Coconut Chicken

Coconut Chicken and Pineapple

This is a lovely meal on the BBQ or under the grill. Cooking time is pretty short, about 15 minutes but you do need to marinate them for at least 3 hours, or even prepare them the night before.  Pineapple is a good fruit for these, as it’s solid enough to take the heat from […]
