Cooking Tips for Perfect Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Room temperature ingredients are key — cold ingredients create lumps.
  • Add powdered sugar slowly to prevent clumping.
  • Want it thicker? Add 1–2 tablespoons more powdered sugar.
  • Want it softer? Add 1–2 teaspoons plant milk.
  • Stop mixing once fluffy — overbeating can loosen the structure.
