Allergy Free Whipped Cream Frosting

Published: Feb 2, 2009 · Updated: Nov 19, 2020 by Kristi Winkels, RDN, LD · This post may contain affiliate links · 2 Comments

This allergy free whipped cream frosting is a delicious way to top your cupcakes for any occasion! It is not as sweet as a buttercream frosting and has a light and fluffy texture, much like whipped topping.

Cake is good on its own but it's even better topped with some frosting! Even though the name sounds like this recipe is dairy-filled, it is actually 100% dairy-free!

The ingredients

Rice flour and rice milk make up the base of this frosting recipe. If you don't have rice flour, you could try another wheat-free flour option such as sorghum flour. Any safe milk substitute would also work. I have used soy milk in the past.

Shortening is whipped together with canola oil and sugar to create a light, fluffy texture. I use Spectrum shortening which is made from palm oil so making it a safe option for those with a soy allergy and it does not contain partially hydrogenated oils. It is sometimes difficult to find at the regular grocery store so check your specialty store or buy it online.

You could also use coconut oil instead of shortening. It has a nice flavor so it works well in this recipe.  Coconut is technically a tree nut so be sure to keep that in mind when choosing the oil you use in this recipe.

Recipe tips

Ideally, you will use a hand mixer or stand mixer to make this frosting because it does take a lot of whipping. When adding in the thickened flour mixture, it takes some time and effort (yours or the mixer's) to get this frosting smooth and light.

Like a whipped cream frosting, this will get a little bit softer and runny if it is left at room temperature for too long. I recommend refrigerating it until you are ready to frost and serve your cake or cupcakes.

    Can I use vegan butter instead of shortening? And coconut oil instead of canola oil?
    What exactly is in canola oil anyway? Or what about avocado oil?

      Hi Stacy,
      I haven't tested this with vegan butter instead of shortening so I can't say for sure how it will turn out. As far as substituting the canola oil, yes, you can sub avocado oil or any other liquid oil in place of canola oil.
