Welcome to the channel, today I'm showing how to make a gluten-free vegan gingerbread house.

Combine 1 1/2 tablespoons of shortening (using Earth Balance) with 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of molasses, 1 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of almond milk in a KitchenAid mixer.

Add 3/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoon of ground cloves, and 1 3/4 teaspoon of ground ginger to the mixture.

Mix on low speed until combined.

Roll out the dough on a cling wrap taped to the countertop, using flour to prevent sticking.

Cut out shapes for the gingerbread house using cookie cutters.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Transfer the cutouts onto a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 13 minutes until firm.

Let the gingerbread pieces cool completely before assembling.

Prepare royal icing using powdered sugar and water or milk, mixing until thick and spreadable.

Transfer the icing into jars for decorating later.
