Background
Of all the recipes I have, this is the oldest fucker. The first thing I was ever allowed to use the mixer for when I was a wee one.
Recipe
The biggest problem with this recipe is that I never measure anything for it. But if you are smart, you can probably figure this shit out on a trial and error basis.
– Aquafaba (the leftover liquid shit from a can of chickpeas)
– Shortening (only all-veggie, since that animal fat shit is fuckin’ disgusting)
– Fuckton of powdered sugar (at least 6 fucktons)
– Vanilla extract (I’m really fuckin’ picky about my vanilla, and you should be too)
– Dry vegan milk* (make that shit up like it says on the package)
Directions
First, you fluff the shit out of the aquafaba with the whip attachment. Whip it until you get what other bakers call “stiff peaks”. This could take some fuckin’ time.
If anyone knows what you can do with just the yolk, please let me know. I’ve felt guilty for wasting the yolks for years.
Then, you add in some Criso or all-veggie shortening. The amount I put in is usually equals the same as the aquafaba that just had the shit fluffed out of them. You should mix the Criso until it is a bit fluffy. It will look like the picture I’ve provided for you, cause I’m fuckin’ thoughtful.
Now you can start adding in the fuckton of powered sugar. I think for every ounce of aquafaba, I use about 4 fucktons of powered sugar, but this recipe is all to your own taste.
As you are mixing in the powered sugar you can add in the vanilla and prepared dry milk. I fuckin’ love vanilla, so I always add a shitload of vanilla. You add in the liquidy shit to the consistency you want the icing to be. I usually like mine a bit thick, but, as always, do whatever you fuckin’ want.
This time I made a lot of icing, so I had to separate it because my feeble hand mixer couldn’t handle this shit.

I made so much fuckin’ icing this time that I had to separate it into another bowl. Go big, or go the fuck home!
Uses and TitTips
I use this icing as my fail-safe for every cake and to decorate most my cakes. It’s white (if you haven’t been paying attention), so it is really easy to add any color you want to it.
TitTip: When making dark colors, you can add coco powder. This helps in conserving food color, makes the color dark, and get rids of or minimizes the aftertaste that most food colors have.
If you are a dude, who weights half a ton, like myself, you can also just eat this shit. I eat it like mother fuckin’ candy! Seriously, I eat it all the time. Quite often I push the cake to the side and only eat this icing. My favorite thing to do is to mix shredded coconut into an undisclosed amount of icing, and then call it “dinner”. Sometimes I like to pair it with cookie dough.

*Vegan Dry Milk Recommendations:
The go-to dry milk is rice milk powder. It doesn’t have a strong flavor on it’s own, so it won’t give your icing a flavor you are not intending.
Soy milk powder is comparable to rice milk, but soy milk is not my fuckin’ favorite.
Vegan coconut milk powder is great, if you are making a cake that would benefit from a little coconut flavor.
Vegan TitTip: Be sure to really read through the dry milk ingredients, especially if it isn’t fuckin’ labeled “vegan”. I read a lot of reviews for different dried milk powders, especially coconut, and there were lots of complaints on some brands adding some sort of dairy into the product.

What brand vanilla do you use? I love Penzey’s double strength. I’m loving your blog man.
I use Adams Extract. I’ve used fancy stuff before (ex: Gorilla’s Anus Vanilla Extract, which is vanilla that you insert into a gorilla’s asshole, let marinate for a few hours in Madagascar, and then promptly throw away cause that shit is disgusting). The fancy stuff doesn’t compare to the normal vanilla I’ve been using since I was a kid. I am open to new things, even if in the vanilla department I’m always disappointed. I’ll have to keep an eye out for Penzey’s.
Glad you like it! I’m pretty fuckin’ proud of myself.
If you are looking for something to do with those yolks, consider this cake recipe, it uses 8 yolks per batch; http://allrecipes.com/recipe/davids-yellow-cake/ I make this thing all the time, and it always turns out great. Just make sure you beat the ever loving shit out of the butter, eggs, and sugar before you add in the milk and dry ingredients. It tastes like sugar cookies, and it’s also great for stacking and carving. I fucking love this recipe. Your welcome.
Thanks for the fuckin’ awesome idea! I will no longer be a wasteful asshole by throwing my yolks away.
