You can definitely make vanilla frosting without milk! Here are a few methods:
1. Buttercream Frosting with Water:
* Ingredients:
* 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
* 3 cups powdered sugar
* 1/4 cup water
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* Pinch of salt
* Instructions:
* Beat the softened butter on medium speed until light and fluffy.
* Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating with the water, beating until smooth.

* You can adjust the consistency by adding more water for a thinner frosting or more powdered sugar for a thicker frosting.
2. Vegan Vanilla Frosting (No Dairy at All):
* Ingredients:
* 1 cup vegan butter (like Earth Balance), softened
* 3 cups powdered sugar
* 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (like almond milk or soy milk)
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* Pinch of salt
* Instructions:
* Follow the same instructions as the buttercream frosting above, just using vegan butter and non-dairy milk.
3. Cream Cheese Frosting (No Milk, but with Cream Cheese):
* Ingredients:
* 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
* 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
* 3 cups powdered sugar
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* Pinch of salt
* Instructions:
* Beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
* Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
* Beat in the vanilla extract and salt.
Tips:
* Soft Butter is Key: Make sure your butter is very soft for a smooth frosting.
* Powdered Sugar is Essential: Using regular sugar won't work for these recipes, as it won't dissolve properly.
* Vanilla Extract: Don't skip the vanilla, it adds so much flavor!
* Taste and Adjust: Add a little more water, powdered sugar, or vanilla to get the perfect taste and consistency for your frosting.
No matter which recipe you choose, you'll have a delicious vanilla frosting that's perfect for decorating cakes, cupcakes, and more!
