Kittencal's Creamy White Buttercream Frosting/Icing
By: KITTENCAL
Jan 5, 2004
This is the best frosting and tastes almost similar to bakery frosting, it's so much better than any canned! to yield more frosting increase the butter and shortening to 1/2 cup and increase the confectioners sugar as needed --- for extra fluffy frosting make certain to beat for at least 3-5 minutes and remember to sift the confectioners sugar before using.
2 cups (approx)
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup white Crisco shortening, softened
- 1/3 cup butter, softened (or use hard margarine)
- 4-6 tablespoons 35% cream, unwhipped (or use half and half cream or milk)
- 1 pinch salt (almost 1/8 teaspoon)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla (or can use 1 teaspoon almond extract)
- 3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted (or as needed)
- 2-4 drops food coloring (or as needed, you may omit if desired)
Directions
1
In a large bowl using an electric mixer at medium speed beat together the shortening or butter with whipping cream or milk, salt and vanilla until smooth (about 3 minutes).2
Add in sifted confectioners sugar starting with 2-1/2 cups; beat very well until smooth and fluffy, adding more confectioners sugar or cream or milk until you achieve desired consistency.3
Add in the food coloring (if using) until the desired shade is achieved.

Very creamy yummy frosting! I used it to ice Deep Dark Chocolate Cake that I made for my son's monster themed birthday cake. I also took about 1/2 - 3/4 c. of the icing, mixed it with some oreo pudding and about 12 crushed oreos to make an oreo filling for the cake - so yummy! Thanks for the recipe!

A very good, creamy, basic buttercream. Piped onto cupcakes perfectly and held the shape. Tasted good and came together easily. I added a little extra vanilla....personal preference. I enjoy a very strong vanilla flavor. What is great about this recipe is that it is so simple and basic you can do anything to it. Add a little almond or lemon extra....beat in some melted chocolate. Whatever will work. GOOD STUFF!

Very light. I didn't use all the icing sugar. It seemed that about 2 1/2 cups was enough. Although I tend to like my icing thinner. I also didn't have whipping cream so I used half and half, but it worked just fine. Will definitely use this again.
