All you need for Vegan Chocolate Frosting Recipe is 3 cups powdered sugar, 1 cup chocolate syrup, 1 tsp vanilla syrup, and 2 cups vegetable shortening. Crisco has vegetable shortening next to the regular kind.

Then add vegetable shortening to the mixture. Blend on medium then high until chocolate buttercream frosting texture is very fluffy. It’s vegan chocolate frosting no butter.
