This frosting is amazingly lovely on anything from cakes, to brownies (coffee variation, mmmm), to cookies. If you can tolerate corn, is it also super easy. If not, like my son, it can still be done with a little more time and my corn-free powdered sugar recipe.
1/2 cup dairy-free, soy free margarine (I know of only one brand and it does contain corn, use shortening if this is a problem)
1/2 cup shortening
2+ tsp vanilla
pinch salt
3-1/2 to 4 cups powdered sugar
2-4 Tbs plain milk alternative of choice, strong coffee, or juice (whatever floats your boat)
food coloring (optional)
Ina a large mixing bowl cream margarine. Beat in vanilla and salt. Add powdered sugar one cup at a time, beating it on low speed until it is combined. Turn the mixer up to medium/ high and whip frosting for 2 minutes. Mix in milk (or other liquid) as needed to reach desired consistency. Add in 1-3 drops food coloring if desired.
Chocolate option: Add 1/2 cup cocoa powder with powdered sugar
