Coffeemate Creamer Icing

• 1 cup Crisco shortening
• 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup Coffeemate Creamer (I used Sugar Free Italian Sweet Cream) or any flavor of your choice
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 lb powdered sugar
• 3 tbsp dark chocolate cocoa powder (optional for chocolate icing)

1. Cream shortening and vanilla until smooth and incorporated in a stand mixer or with beaters.
2. Add powdered sugar one cup at a time.
3. If the icing is too thick add the creamer a little at a time to a smooth creamy consistency.
4. Make sure you're not mixing it on high because you'll end up with powdered sugar all over the place flying out of the bowl.
5. A low speed is best.
6. (I know, I'm impatient too!
7. Lol)
8. Add more creamer for a smoother piping consistency and less for a stiffer consistency.
9. Sift the cocoa powder and add to icing if preferred for a chocolate icing.
10. This icing is really good for decorating cakes as it holds it shape for piping and has a nice "crust" that even most typical buttercream have.
11. But once you bite into it, it's creamy as ever!
12. Feel free to add any kind of flavored creamer you like to this recipe!
13. This recipe makes quite a bit and keeps well in the fridge for later use.
14. Makes enough to frost and decorate a double layered 9" cake.
