What Makes Vegan Lavender Buttercream So Special?
Traditional buttercream frosting is made with butter, sugar, and sometimes heavy cream. But vegan buttercream is just as delicious and smooth, using plant-based butter (or a butter alternative) in place of dairy butter. The addition of lavender adds a unique, floral flavor that can elevate any dessert to a whole new level.
Lavender is known for its calming and fragrant qualities, and when used in cooking and baking, it adds a gentle, aromatic sweetness that complements many flavors. In this buttercream, it pairs beautifully with the rich, creamy texture of vegan butter and powdered sugar, resulting in a light and fragrant frosting that’s as pleasing to the senses as it is to the taste buds.
Ingredients for Vegan Lavender Buttercream
To make Vegan Lavender Buttercream, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup vegan butter (softened)
(You can use any plant-based butter or margarine, such as Earth Balance or Miyoko’s) - 2 ½ – 3 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
