cream cheese frosting vegan

• Ingredients
• 8 ounces vegan cream cheese* bring to room temperature
• 1/2 cup vegan butter sticks bring to room temperature (about 8 ounces too)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla paste
• pinch of sea salt
• 3 cups to 4 cups of powdered sugar sifted
• 1/4 cup cornstarch sifted
• Instructions
• In the bowl of a mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese together for about 2 minutes until fully incorporated.
  
• Add in the vanilla extract or paste and the pinch of salt. 
  
• Add in a cup of sifted powdered sugar and all of the sifted cornstarch. Mix for about 1 minute or until incorporated. Add in the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until the frosting has reached the desired thickness.
  
• Place the frosting wrapped or covered into the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight, until being used. You can enjoy it right away, but it will thicken up beautifully in the fridge.
  
• You can apply it immediately to a cooled cake, then place in the fridge, or place the frosting itself, then apply to the cake later. Enjoy!
