Easy Kid-Pleasin' Strawberry Buttercream Frosting image

The ultimate kid pleaser, great frosting for baking Recipe #396312 as cupcakes. Would also be tasty on a traditional vanilla/white cake! I love getting creative with Nesquik.

Time 20m

Yield 48 tbsp approx, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 tablespoons salted butter (it helps set- add a shake of table salt if using unsalted)
3 cups confectioners' sugar, must be beaten in gradually
1/2 cup strawberry-flavor Nestle Nesquik powder
1/2 cup 2% low-fat milk (any kind is fine but I normally keep 2% around)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Butter must be highly softened but NOT melted. I'd recommend leaving it out in a safe area for about 20 minutes.
  • With an electric mixer, cream the butter with 1 cup confectioners sugar and the milk.
  • Beat in the Nesquik and vanilla extract.
  • In small increments, beat in the rest of the confectioners' sugar. For a stiffer frosting, add a little more confectioners sugar.
  • This will ice about 24-36 cupcakes assuming you use about 2-3 Tbsp per cupcake. It's best to make this after you've baked and are ready to use it because refridgeration will cause it to set and make it practically unspreadable.
