Cream Cheese Frosting (vegan)

A whipped creamy topping that holds it's consistency.

Ingredients

• • 1/2 cup soy milk

  • 1 cup unsweetened vegan yogurt (soy or coconut)

  • 1/3 cup white flour

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup shortening

  • 1 cup granulated sugar (not powdered)

Preparation

1. Whisk together flour, milk, and yogurt with a fork in a saucepan over medium heat until very thick (almost like a paste), whisking constantly.

2. Set aside to cool, stirring occasionally (must reach room temperature).

3. Cream the shortening and the sugar in a batter bowl with a beater on medium for 5 minutes, scraping down sides with a spatula (may still be a bit grainy).

4. Stir the vanilla into the cooled yogurt and flour mixture.

5. Pour the yogurt mixture into the creamed shortening and beat on high for several minutes, scraping down sides with a spatula, until fluffy and not grainy.

6. Spread onto completely cooled cake or cupcakes and serve.
