Ingredients

1 cup + some Confectioners' Sugar

1 generous spatula Crisco (vegetable shortening)

Splash of milk + more if needed (I use rice or almond milk, my mother uses regular 2% dairy)

1 tsp vanilla extract (or other flavoring of choice)

Directions

Put sugar in mixing bowl, add splash of milk. (A standing mixer works best, but a hand electric mixer works too. Hand mixing works too, but the result won't be as fluffy.)

Beat slowly until the ingredients start to combine, add shortening.

Increase speed of mixer once the ingredients start to come together, add vanilla.

If frosting is too thick, add a little (a little goes a long way in this recipe) milk; If it is too thin, add a little more shortening. You may want to add more sugar to taste.

For chocolate, add 1/4-1/3 cup cocoa, or one melted square of baking chocolate.

For colors, add a dab of food coloring.

I would use palm shortening instead of Crisco. It's way healthier and just as white and tasteless.

*Update* I just made this to decorate a cheesecake. It whipped up nicely and was a nice creamy white. I loved how simple and easy it was to whip up and how incredibly yummy it is! The only thing I did different was use palm shortening. Will definitely make again when I need a quick, fluffy frosting! :) Thank you for sharing!
