Dairy Free Buttercream Frosting
For the Dairy Free Buttercream Frosting we used 2 sticks of Earth Balance Butter. I love the consistency of this brand but it can tend to lean slightly on the salty side. If your looking for another dairy free substitute that’s not quite as salty but still incredibly delicious and creamy… I would highly recommend trying Melts butter Sticks. You can easily swap out Earth Balance for the Melts Butter Sticks in this recipe.
