Hey fellow baking enthusiasts, sometimes you crave that delicious frosting on your cupcakes or cake, but butter might not be readily available, or perhaps you’re looking for a dairy-free option. What are some of your favorite recipes or tricks for making frosting without butter? I’ve seen options with cream cheese, whipped cream, or even avocado.

No butter, no issue! Without it, there are other ways to decorate your cakes and cupcakes. A traditional option is cream cheese frosting, which has a thick and creamy texture and is made with cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. For a lighter frosting, you may also use whipped cream, but it won’t keep as long. Try avocado frosting for a vegan option! It offers a creamy, silky texture and is available in flavours like citrus and chocolate. To achieve the perfect frosting consistency, remember to use full-fat ingredients, sift your powdered sugar to prevent lumps, and adjust the milk or cream. So go ahead and bake whatever you want!
For a fab frosting without butter, try using coconut oil – it’s creamy and adds a hint of tropical flavor. Or, mix in some Greek yogurt for a tangy twist.
