  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Enough to frost 12 cupcakes

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup sugar

3 tablespoons coconut oil

1/3 cup coconut cream

1/2 cup vegan butter or shortening, or a combination of both Creates a rich, creamy base

2 cups powdered sugar

1/4 cup vegan caramel sauce (prepared from the above ingredients)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 to 3 teaspoons non-dairy milk, if needed

Instructions

1-Making the Vegan Caramel Sauce: Place the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until it melts evenly. Once the last bit of sugar is melting, remove the pan from the heat and quickly add the coconut oil and coconut cream, taking care as the mixture may splatter. Return the pan to medium-low heat and stir continuously for 1 to 2 minutes until the sugar re-melts and the sauce becomes thick and smooth.

2-Preparing the Vegan Caramel Buttercream: 1. Place the vegan butter in an electric mixer bowl and cream it at medium-high speed for 1 minute.
2. Add the sifted powdered sugar and cream for another minute.
3. Add the cooled caramel sauce and mix at medium speed until fully combined.
4. If the mixture is too stiff, add non-dairy milk, one teaspoon at a time, to achieve a smooth consistency.
5. Finally, add the vanilla and adjust as needed for texture.

Notes

๐ŸŒก๏ธ Ensure caramel sauce is fully cooled before mixing to prevent lumps.
โ„๏ธ Use vegan butter straight from the fridge to help frosting hold shape.
๐ŸŽจ Adding shortening creates smoother, more pipeable buttercream, though butter improves flavor.
