Shopping List
  • 2 cups powdered cane sugar (Note 1)
  • 5 tablespoons butter, softened (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries (about .2 ounces)
  • 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 fresh strawberries, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon non-dairy milk (optional)

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Crush the freeze-dried strawberries until fine and powdery. You can use a mortar and pestle, or place the strawberries in a sealable baggie and hit it lightly with a rolling pin. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: With a stand or hand mixer, beat the butter on low until creamy.
  3. Step 3: Add the powdered sugar, freeze-dried strawberries, vanilla, and optional fresh strawberries. Do not add any milk for now. Beat on low for 30 seconds, then increase the speed for one minute or until fluffy.
  4. Step 4: Add the milk to thin the consistency as needed, only one spoonful at a time.
  5. Serve: Use immediately while at room temperature or cover and refrigerate. If refrigerating, beat the frosting again until creamy. This frosting is great on Vegan Chocolate Cake and Cinnamon Cupcakes.

Recipe Notes

Note 1: Powdered date sugar will also work here. To make powdered date sugar, combine 2 cups of date sugar with 2 tablespoons of arrowroot powder in a high-powdered blender, such as a Vitamix. Add the cover the top of the blender with a towel to help keep the sugar from escaping. Blend on high for about 30 seconds. Turn the blender off and let the powdered date sugar settle for a few minutes (otherwise you'll get a cloud of sugar in your face). Measure it out and use in place of powdered cane sugar.
