Ingredients
Instructions

- If the icing is too thin, add powdered sugar as desired to reach the desired consistency.
- Use immediately or store for later use.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother icing, make sure your Crisco is at room temperature before mixing. If you don't have cornstarch, you can substitute with powdered sugar, but be cautious, as it may alter the icing's consistency. To add flavor, consider using almond extract instead of vanilla. This icing is also great for decorating cakes like the Lemon-Fruit Dessert (Quick) or cookies.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover icing in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you need to reheat it, use a microwave in short bursts, stirring in between, until it's soft enough to whip again. Avoid refrigerating, as it may change the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this icing in advance?
Yes, you can prepare this icing ahead of time. Just store it in an airtight container at room temperature. When you're ready to use it, give it a good whip to restore its fluffy texture.
What if my icing is too thick?
If your icing is too thick, gradually add a little warm water or more vanilla until you reach your desired consistency. Be careful not to add too much at once, as it's easier to thin than to thicken.
Can I color this icing?
Absolutely! You can use gel or liquid food coloring to tint your icing. Start with a small amount and gradually add more until you achieve the desired shade. Just remember that darker colors may slightly affect the icing's consistency.
