To make an eggless buttercream frosting, you can use a simple recipe that replaces the eggs typically found in traditional buttercream. Here's a basic recipe for eggless buttercream frosting:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter using an electric mixer until it becomes light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time, while continuing to mix on low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Once all the powdered sugar has been incorporated, add the milk and vanilla extract to the bowl.
- Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat the mixture for about 2-3 minutes until the frosting becomes smooth and creamy. If the frosting appears too thick, you can add a little more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
- Once the frosting is ready, it can be used to frost cakes, cupcakes, or any other desserts.
