Make light and fluffy vegan lemon buttercream frosting with just 3 base ingredients (regular or keto) and either a stand mixer or handheld mixer. This dairy-free lemon frosting is perfect for spreading and piping work, with an adjustable consistency!

1packageconfectioner’s sugar (3 ½ cups) (1-pound) package
2tablespoonsof lemon juice
2teaspoonsof lemon zest
2teaspoonsof vanilla extract
Instructions
In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl if you’re using a handheld electric mixer), add the room temperature vegan butter. Whisk the butter on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Slowly add the confectioner’s sugar while continuously beating the vegan butter. Add in the lemon juice and vanilla extract and beat for an additional three minutes until light and fluffy.
Notes
This frosting is thicker and best used for piping. If you’d like it to be a little smoother, add in more plant-based milk by the teaspoon until you reach your desired consistency.
