Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Serves: about 2½ cups
Ingredients
  • 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 1 cup melted dairy-free vanilla ice cream (Talia uses So Delicious No Sugar Coconut Milk Frozen Dessert)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (1 stick) dairy-free buttery sticks, room temperature
  • ½ cup shortening (Talia uses Spectrum)
Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the ice cream and flour until smooth.
  2. Place the pan over medium-low heat, and stir until the mixture is very thick, like thick brownie batter.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat, whisk in the vanilla, and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
  4. Once the ice cream mixture is cool, cream the sugar, buttery stick, and shortening with a mixer until smooth and light. It shouldn't be grainy.
  5. Add the ice cream mixture to the creamed mixture and whip until light and fluffy.
  6. Once the Earth Balance/shortening and sugar are whipped, add in the ice cream/flour mixture and whip until light and fluffy.
Notes
This frosting will be very light and fluffy at room temperature (as shown in the first picture). If it’s refrigerated, it will become much thicker and more dense (as shown in the second picture). It is delicious either way! It can be used to frost cupcakes, cakes, cookies, or just eat it with a spoon!
