Diana's Icing

• 1 cup shortening
• 14 cup water
• 14 cup powdered coffee creamer (look for a brand that claims it's so rich that it whips)
• 1 teaspoon clear imitation almond extract
• 1 pinch salt
• 4 -5 cups powdered sugar

1. In electric mixer, combine shortening and creamer on low speed.
2. Slowly add 2 cups of powdered sugar, mix well.
3. Pour in water, then carefully add 2 additional cups sugar, almond extract, and salt.
4. Thoroughly combine, scraping sides so that all ingredients are well incorporated.
5. Mix on high speed for 3 minutes, then test consistency.
6. If a denser icing is desired, add powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well between each addition.
7. When desired consistency is reached, mix on high speed for 5 minutes to make light and fluffy.
