Ingredients
Making vegan icing for gingerbread house is surprisingly easy. All you need are a few simple ingredients:
- 1/2 cup non-hydrogenated vegan margarine (room temperature)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups icing sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy milk
Instructions
To make vegan icing for gingerbread house, start by creaming the vegan margarine in a medium-sized bowl until it is light and fluffy. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Next, add the icing sugar one cup at a time, while continually mixing. As you add the icing sugar, the mixture will start to become thick. Add the soy milk one tablespoon at a time to thin the mixture out.
Continue to mix the icing until it is light and fluffy. If you find that the icing is too thick, add a bit more soy milk. If it is too thin, add a bit more icing sugar. Be sure to mix thoroughly to get the desired texture.
Once you have the desired texture, you are ready to start decorating your gingerbread house. You can use a piping bag to create intricate designs, or use a spoon to spread the icing over the entire surface of the gingerbread house.
