Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover icing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To reheat, simply warm it gently in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until it reaches a pourable consistency again. If it thickens too much, add a splash of milk to loosen it up before using.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk for this icing?
Yes, you can use whole milk or even almond milk as a substitute for Pet milk. However, the texture and creaminess may vary slightly. Just ensure that whatever milk you choose is full-fat for the best results.
How can I make this icing thicker?
To achieve a thicker icing, cook it a bit longer to allow more moisture to evaporate. Alternatively, you can add a tablespoon of cocoa or a small amount of powdered sugar to help thicken it without altering the flavor significantly.
Can I make this icing ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can make this icing a day in advance. Just be sure to let it cool completely before storing it in the fridge. When you're ready to use it, reheat it gently and stir well to restore its smooth texture.
