Vegan icing that doesn't turn runny!

Just tried this icing for some strawberry cupcakes and it is delish. I have had a really hard time finding a vegan icing that doesn't get all runny and oozy--this is the one! I had so much fun piping it on that I ended up playing tic-tac-toe on my cupcakes. Super easy too! I used the modified 1/4 amount version posted in a review above and it was perfect. I will be trying it with butter instead of coconut oil next time as another user did (I like coconut flavor but have to be in the right mood for it). Thanks for sharing this great recipe!

"I've made this a few times and have used pea milk instead (the guy who brought us Method cleaning products is now doing vegan mylk).

"Unfortunately sauteing with your butter recipe ends up in unwanted clumps due to xantham gum being fried at high temperatures. Perhaps you could use something that melts. You are right about the acidic taste. The vinegar flavor ruins the butter experience if you were to spread it on bread to be eaten directly. Lemon juice has the same effect. Moreover, I did try organic coconut oil which resulted in the best flavor. But, as I am sure everyone knows, organic oil is extremely expensive. It is also interesting to note that this butter for some reason will collect mold rather quickly if not used soon enough. Freezing only retards the mold growth. How long do you hold your butter before using? Have you tried other neutral tasting acids with..."
