Ingredients
- Vegan Butter
- Powdered Sugar
- Plant-Based Milk
- Lavender Extract or Culinary Lavender
- Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by measuring out your vegan butter and letting it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes until it’s softened. This helps achieve that creamy texture.
- Whip the Vegan Butter: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened vegan butter until it’s light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Powdered Sugar Gradually: Slowly add in the sifted powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed to avoid a sugar cloud. Once incorporated, increase the speed and beat until smooth.
- Mix in Plant-Based Milk: Pour in your chosen plant-based milk, lavender extract, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture on medium speed until it’s creamy and well combined. Adjust the milk quantity to achieve your desired consistency.
- Incorporate Lavender: If you’re using culinary lavender, gently fold it in at this stage. If you’re using lavender extract, add it drop by drop, tasting as you go to ensure it’s to your liking.
- Final Whip: Give the buttercream one last whip on high speed for about 1 minute to ensure everything is well combined and fluffy.

Keywords: If you find the lavender flavor too strong, consider balancing it with a touch more vanilla extract or a hint of lemon juice. Always use fresh lavender and high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor and quality in your buttercream.
