This is a quick and easily altered frosting recipe. It is soft, but stable, easy to work with, can be spread or piped. After a few hours it does form a very thin layer on top, but stays soft and fluffy underneath, doesn't get crusty.

Ingredients
- 1 cup + some confectioners' sugar shopping list
- 1 generous spatula Crisco (vegetable shortening) shopping list
- Splash of milk + more if needed (I use rice or almond milk, my mother uses regular 2% dairy) shopping list
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (or other flavoring of choice) shopping list
How to make it
- 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...more
