You need this Easy Dairy-free Frosting! When we went dairy-free suddenly all my store-bought options and homemade recipe were off the table. I eventually found Miss Jones Bakes on Amazon, which was a good fast option but sometimes hard to find and not cheap.

I love cake. It is hands down my favorite dessert of all time. I have really fond memories of making cakes with my dad for holidays. He taught me how to pipe frosting and didn’t mind when he caught me “taste testing.”

But what is a good cake without thick delicious frosting?! 

Why we love this EASY Dairy-free Frosting

It was time to make my own and I realized once I did I should have done so much sooner! Four ingredients to make this gluten-free, dairy-free frosting that can also be paleo and keto depending on the sugar you use.

Want a KETO or PALEO option? Use powdered monk fruit sugar! This is becoming more and more common in stores, but you can find it also on Amazon here.

It only takes 10 minutes to make and is nice and thick. Perfect for tubing on with decorating tools or just spreading on in a creamy layer. 

No more store-bought dairy-free frosting for us, this is our new go-to!

We love this Dairy-free Frosting with my White Chocolate Raspberry Cake – a beautiful option for Easter, a baby shower, or a bridal shower!

Ingredients

• Powdered sugar or Powdered Monk Fruit Sugar (Paleo & Keto) – Powdered sugar can be found in most grocery stores in the baking aisle. Powdered monk fruit sugar is becoming more and more common in stores, but you can find it also on Amazon here.
• Ghee – Ghee is butter with the milk fat solids removed. Many who are dairy intolerant find this a swap that works well for them. If you are allergic to dairy, feel free to use a softened vegan butter like Miyokos.
• Almond milk – Or other dairy-free milk of choice
• Vanilla – Pure vanilla or vanilla extract work equally well here. However, if you want bright white frosting, use clear vanilla
