Finally- as we are making Vegan Swiss meringue Buttercream Frosting…
Add ½ cup vegetable shortening ( I used Crisco) that is at

room temperature.

keep whipping to incorporate it fully and finally, add 1 ½ tsp vanilla.

If it is cold, it make cause problems—-you can warm up your mixing bowl while whipping to keep the frosting on track).

You will have leftover frosting- so feel free to halve the recipe…
