Prep Time 10 minutes
Chilling time 2 hours
Servings 1 batch

Ingredients

  • 200 g Vegan block butter (¾ cup or 7oz)
  • 225 g Icing sugar (around 1+¾ cups)
  • 35 ml Brandy (2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Add the butter to a large bowl and use a wooden spoon to soften it slightly.

  2. Add the icing sugar, a little bit at a time, until it's all used up.

  3. Now add in the brandy, a little at a time. Do not add it all in at once or the mixture will curdle.

  4. Use an electric mixer to whisk the brandy butter for a minute or so until it turns pale and fluffy.

  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to firm up.

Recipe Notes

  • The brandy flavour in this recipe is relatively mild. If you want a stronger flavour, you can add more brandy. 
  • If the mixture curdles, add more icing sugar until smooth.
  • Do not use vegan margarine- I recommend using Stork baking block or similar.
