2 cups (500 grams) of icing sugar
1-2 tablespoons water
Vegan food coloring (optional)
Vegan decorations for eyes and noses (optional)
Instructions:
In a mixing bowl, sift the icing sugar to remove any lumps.
Gradually add 1 tablespoon of water to the icing sugar, stirring continuously until a thick paste forms. Add more water, a little at a time, if needed, until you reach a smooth and thick consistency that holds its shape.
If desired, add vegan food colouring to the icing sugar mixture to create different colored mice. Mix until the colour is evenly distributed.
Divide the icing sugar mixture into small portions and shape each portion into a mouse shape, forming a pointed nose and round body. You can also use your hands to roll small balls for the mouse heads and bodies separately, then attach them together. Alternatively you can pour the liquid mixture into sugar mice moulds which most cookery shops and some supermarkets will stock, or they are also available on Amazon.
Use vegan sweet decorations to add eyes, noses, and any other details to the sugar mice. Alternatively, you can use small pieces of dried fruit or nuts for decoration.
Allow the sugar mice to dry and harden completely before serving or storing in an airtight container. This may take a few hours or overnight, depending on the humidity in your environment.
Once dry, your adorable vegan sugar mice are ready to be enjoyed as a sweet treat or used as decorations for cakes and desserts. Enjoy!
