This is my basic dairy-free cream cheese frosting, it goes perfectly with carrot cupcakes!

Cream the cream cheese and margarine together with a mixer.
Add the vanilla and powdered sugar.
At this point, I just add some milk and then some powdered sugar, messing around trying to get the perfect “pipe-able” consistency. To make grass, the frosting needs to be fairly thick or your grass will turn to puddles.

This makes enough to frost generously with a knife, if you’re planning to pipe on piles of frosting, you might want to double this recipe.
