Vegan Fluffy Buttercream Frosting

Vegan Fluffy Buttercream Frosting

1/2 cup nonhydrogenated shortening (I use Earth Balance brand)

1/2 cup nonhydrogenated margarine

3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted if clumpy

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/4 cup plain soymilk or soy creamer

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Directions:

• 1. Beat the shortening and margarine together until well combined and fluffy. Add the sugar and beat for about 3 minutes more. Add the vanilla and soy milk, beat for another 5 to 7 minutes until fluffy.
• (I don't have a fancy mixer, I just beat by hand and it comes out just great, although tiring, it's worth it!!)
