Vegan Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting

Bake Angel
My 6 ingredient strawberry cream cheese frosting is perfect for piping on cupcakes, spreading on bagels or even just eating straight from the bowl. Free from dairy, soy, tree nuts and egg, this vegan frosting is packed full of flavour and takes just a few minutes to make.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 113 grams Vegan Cream Cheese (4 oz or half a container)
  • 30 grams Plant Based Butter (unsalted) (2 tbsp)
  • 60 grams Strawberry Jam (3 tbsp)
  • 360 grams Icing Sugar (3 US Cups)
  • Dash Vanilla Bean Paste
  • Pinch Salt

Instructions
 

  • Add 113g (4oz) vegan cream cheese and 30g (2 tbsp) of room temperature vegan butter to a mixing bowl and combine them together until they're nice and light and fluffy.
  • Add 60g (3 tbsp) strawberry jam and a splash of vanilla bean paste then give everything a quick mix together.
  • Whisk in 360g (3 US Cups) of icing sugar. I like to add mine in thirds to avoid a huge icing sugar mess!
  • Taste the frosting and add salt if required. A pinch is usually enough to enhance the flavours and cut back on the sweetness.
  • Top Tip: to pipe on cupcakes, chill in the fridge for 30 minutes and transfer to a piping bag. Check out the video for a quick decorating tutorial.

Notes

  • This recipe makes enough icing to easily ice 12 cupcakes.
  • Store in the fridge in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks. Rewhip it if you want to pipe with it. It also freezes really well for up to 3 months.
  • If you want to use this icing to fill and ice an 8 inch cake, I recommend either doubling the recipe or using the entire tub of cream cheese to add extra tang. This recipe used half of a 227g tub.
