Description

This easy vegan banana cream frosting is a light, creamy, and dairy-free frosting with a delightful balance of fresh banana and vanilla flavors. Perfect for single-layer cakes, cupcakes, and muffins, this quick and versatile recipe adds a luscious finishing touch to your baked goods with its smooth texture and subtle sweetness.

Ingredients

Frosting Ingredients

  • 25g mashed banana (about 2 tbsp)
  • 1/3 cup (60g) vegan butter, cold but slightly soft
  • 1 1/2 cups (170g) icing sugar
  • 1 tbsp soy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Banana: Weigh 25g of banana on a digital scale and mash it thoroughly until smooth with no lumps. Set aside to be incorporated later.
  2. Whip the Vegan Butter: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the vegan butter until light and fluffy. This process should take about 2-3 minutes to achieve a creamy texture.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the smooth banana mash, vanilla extract, and cold soy whipping cream to the whipped vegan butter. Beat together on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until fully combined.
  4. Add Icing Sugar: Pour in all the icing sugar at once. Begin beating on the lowest mixer speed to avoid a sugar cloud, then gradually increase the speed as the sugar incorporates. Continue mixing for an additional 1-2 minutes until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
  5. Frost and Serve: Use the frosting immediately to decorate cakes or cupcakes. Enjoy the creamy, fruity, and vegan-friendly banana cream frosting!

Notes

  • Make sure the vegan butter is cold but slightly softened for best whipping results.
  • Use a digital scale to measure the banana accurately for consistent flavor and texture.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a small splash of soy whipping cream to adjust the consistency.
  • This frosting works best on single-layer cakes, cupcakes, or muffins and is not suited for very warm environments as it may soften.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature and briefly re-whip before using.
