Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (226 g) vegan butter
  • 4 cups (500 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) nondairy milk, plus more as needed
  • 1 cup (120 g) crushed vegan chocolate sandwich cookies (about 9 cookies)

Instructions
 

  • Place the butter into a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat for a few minutes, until light and fluffy.
  • Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk and beat again, until light and fluffy. If necessary, mix in more milk, approximately 1/2 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Scrape the sides as necessary.
  • Finally, beat in the crushed cookies. To remove air bubbles, use a rubber scraper to stir the buttercream a bit and press it up against the sides of the bowl.
  • Use as desired. This can be piped on cupcakes, frosted onto a cake, or eaten with a spoon!
