Our Gingerbread Houses of 2014


We finally got a chance to make our annual Gingerbread Houses on Christmas Eve! We use graham crackers instead of gingerbread to make it easier but use our own vegan frosting to decorate them. This year the frosting turned out the best ever! We had a very limited supply of graham crackers so our houses were a bit smaller than previous years. See if you can spot my son's version of a gingerbread outhouse. 







Dairy Free/Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting
½ C     Dairy Free Margarine
¾ C     Dairy free Cream Cheese
1/8      Tsp. Salt                                        
1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
2 ½ C Confectioner’s Sugar

In a bowl, cream margarine. Add cream cheese and cream well. Add salt and vanilla and mix together. Slowly add confectioner’s sugar and mix on low. Once sugar is mixed in, increase speed and mix 3-4 minutes on medium, until light and fluffy. Chill or use immediately. Makes 2 cups.

A belated Merry Christmas from our family to yours.
