Sour Cream Frosting Recipe

Ingredients

3 cups confectioner’s sugar
4 Tbs. butter or non-dairy substitute (e.g. Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks), at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream (dairy or non-dairy)
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Cream ingredients together and drizzle or spread over cooled cake. Refrigerate to set.

Note: dairy-free sour creams tend to be less thick than those with dairy. If your frosting is too thin, whisk in more confectioner's sugar, 1/4 cup at at time; if it is too thick, add more sour cream by the tablespoon until the optimum consistency is created.
