Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two opposite sides to use as handles for lifting.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the cold vegan butter cubes and work them into the flour mixture with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs. Drizzle in the ice water and press the dough together until it just holds when squeezed — it will look shaggy but should not be sticky.
