2 tablespoons rice milk

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Step 2

    Add the confectioners’ sugar, mix (it will be crumbly), then add the rice milk. Beat on medium speed for 5 minutes, or until fluffy and smooth. You can either pipe the frosting or spread it with a butter knife or frosting spatula, creating pretty swirls.
