iceing recipe
 

My little man is allergic to dairy and I am looking for a dairy free iceing recipe. His birthday is tomorrow so any help I can get would be great. :blush

Thanks,
Shelby

Re: iceing recipe
 

What kind of icing are you looking for? Buttercream?
I'd use a standard recipe and use marg and non-moo milk instead of butter and milk.
:nak2 (or I'd go and dig an actual recipe out for you ;) but you could try google)

I think I found a recipe I like. Thank you for your quick reply. This is the recipe I found. I hope someone else can enjoy this one too.

3 oz. semi-sweet dairy-free dark chocolate chips
2 tsp Earth Balance vegan butter (or brand of your choice)
1/4 c. water
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
Melt chocolate chips and vegan butter over low heat. Add water. Stir in sugar slowly while mixing until it reaches a smooth, buttery consistency.
Add the vanilla and stir. Let cool a bit before using.

did that recipe work out?

if i'm making a typical white icing, i usually do this:

earth balance non-hydrogenated shortening
soymilk/almond milk
pure vanilla extract to taste

i'm not sure on the ratios of everything. i kind of pour the soymilk in until it looks like the right consistency.

No, I don't think it worked out well at all. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but it tasted like powdered sugar. :shrug I put it on the cake anyway and we'll see later what everyone else thinks. I'm almost thinking i should have just left it off. :mad
