Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup milk
1½ Tablespoons cornstarch
1 dash salt
½ cup vegetable shortening
½ cup butter (or margarine) (, softened)
⅔ cup granulated sugar
1⅔ cup powdered sugar (, divided use)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place milk, cornstarch and a dash of salt in a medium saucepan. Stir or whisk to combine ingredients. Cook on LOW heat, stirring often, until mixture thickens. Once mixture thickens, remove it from the heat; set it aside to cool.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl (or stand mixer), mix together vegetable shortening, butter, granulated sugar and a portion (2/3 cup) of the powdered sugar. Beat these ingredients REALLY WELL for about 15 minutes, until creamy. NOTE: It is important to take the time to mix really well, so the granulated sugar is dissolved and is no longer "grainy".
  • Add vanilla extract, and the completely cooled, thickened milk mixture. Beat ingredients well, until fully incorporated into the frosting.
  • Add remaining cup of powdered sugar to the frosting. Mix well until fully combined. Now the frosting is done. It should be fluffy and light in texture, and ready to use. Will make enough frosting to fully cover a 2 layer round cake or 2 dozen cupcakes.

GRANDMA'S FROSTING



Grandma's Frosting image

My Grandma was a great baker. She made the most delicious frosting for her cakes. I could never quite get why my frosting never tasted like hers. Years later I found this recipe in her handwriting and it had coffee in it. I'm not a coffee drinker, but boy was this frosting delicious. The recipe is actually for 3 variations: white, chocolate or mocha.
