Ingredients

  • 150 g Vegan butter (see notes)
  • 2 Teaspoons Lemon extract
  • 500 g Icing sugar

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the butter and lemon extract.

  2. Add the icing sugar, a little bit at a time, until it's all mixed in. If it's too runny, you can add more icing sugar and if it's too thick, add a splash of plant-based milk.

Recipe Notes

  • I recommend using the spreadable type of vegan butter. If you use the blocky type, you'll need to add some plant-based milk to help it come together.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days.
