Hi, so my boyfriends mother and brother are allergic to all dairy products,(and also eggs, nuts&fish,just his brother is allergic to yeast and just his mom is allergic to soy), and i've been wanting to make a buttercream using earth balance soy free spread. I read on here that it would be better to use the sticks, which they don't sell the Soy Free kind in. I was wondering if anybody had any recipes using the soy free spread, and rice milk?
Earth Balance works fine and tastes pretty good, but I don't care for the intense yellow color of it. You milk want to use 1/2 Earth Balance and 1/2 Spectrum Organics Shortening, which is soy-free.
Soy-free, dairy-free milks that I've used include rice milk, almond milk, hazelnut milk, and hemp milk, and they all work well for buttercream.
I agree with sangriacupcake. The Earth Balance has a distinct taste. In my vegan experiments, the mix of EB/shortening was the best. It also stands up well to additions. I added quite a bit of fresh pureed strawberries and it held up well.
