The frosting lost its grainy texture and became creamy and delicious! Hi Katelin, The sugar and butter should have been creamed together when you mixed it with an electric mixer.
Mixing it for longer may help, however this is not a powdered sugar frosting recipe so the texture will be more coarse then powdered sugared because powdered sugar has a much finer texture. This was great. I added cacao powder and a little shortening. I also used water instead of milk.
It was delicious!!!! I am making cute Easter bunny cupcakes! Came out perfect and SO delicious! Easter bunny cupcakes sound super cute. Happy Easter! I was out of powdered sugar so gave this a try!!!
Excellent and easy. Not too sweet and I kept mixing until fluffy and it hardly had any granule texture! This is a keeper!!! I added cream cheese to my finished icing and it is delicious!! Tastes just like home made cream cheese frosting!! Hi Jana, I never thought about adding cream cheese, what a great idea! I made this yesterday and added chocolate powder to it for a tray bake style cake I was making! It tastes so good!
Definitely saved for next time! That is a great idea to add chocolate powder to the recipe. This recipe worked great! The flour mixture was slightly lumpy, but once it was cooked and added into the butter, it worked out good. This was a perfect substitute for a powdered sugar-free american buttercream. It was also delicious and it was perfect for the occasion!
Hi Amber, I am so glad to hear the recipe worked great for you! Thank you for taking the time to comment, we really appreciate it. I have not timed how long it takes but it should be less then 20 minutes. Hi, I usually do put mine in the refrigerator because it helps to keep the frosting hard, my house is usually pretty warm.
It is very creamy, but at first it tasted a little sweet, then I refrigerated it and left it out for a day, and it tasted delicious, I did find it hard to turn into a paste though. Mostly was a good experience. Thanks for the recipe. I usually put mine in the refrigerator also. And also no problem to the comment thing I am glad to help and tell you my experiences : You are welcome too.
But, if there was a rating I would rate 5 stars overall. Do you have a good recipe for glaze, I used one and there was sugar particles and it was way too sweet, I think that if you did make glaze it would be a hit! Be sure to tell me if you have one or if you could take the time to make one.
Sorry, IN the beginning… one of the problems was……….. Then read the above. This recipe is fantastic. But after adding about 2 TBS of milk, I got the right consistency. I used the paddle attachment first to cream everything and then swapped to the big whisk attachment and the icing probably quadrupled in volume. Hi Jen, I am so glad the recipe turned out for you. I will have to try adding cocoa sometime. Thank you for sharing your tips on adding cocoa, milk, and using the whisk attachment.
Brooke, Yes others have commented that they added cocoa powder to make it chocolate frosting with success. Thanks for reaching out. Hi Kiki, It probably needs to mixed more with an electric mixer and you can add more sugar to it. Also refrigerating it will help. Hi Katie, I am interested to try this recipe. I just want to know if this recipe will still work if I will be using a wisk?
If wisk is okay, how many minutes do you think will take me to have the right consistence of the frosting? Hi Maureen, I feel like an electric mixer is a helpful if not crucial part of making this frosting because it really needs to be whipped. It may be possible to make with whisk but it will definitely take some additional time. This recipe is made with common ingredients. Powdered sugar and heavy cream are not always staple items that everyone keeps in their kitchen.
These ingredients are more common and easier for someone to make without having to run to the store. That is why it calls for milk instead of heavy cream. Hi Andrea, I think it is fine to add cocoa powder, I know others have made the recipe and added it. Hi Gretta, I believe it would work for this recipe. Someone messaged me that it worked for them when they tried it. Thank you for this recipe. I have tried for years to come up with a good icing recipe that does not use powdered sugar.
This recipe nailed it. We use coconut sugar and Einkorn flour and it turned out absolutely perfect. You are welcome. I am glad you liked the recipe and that it worked out for you.
Thank you for taking the time to comment, we appreciate it. Can you go into further detail about how to do the milk and flour part, and how long should it take? Where has this recipe been all our life? I have had many birthdays with many cakes and many attempts at the perfect frosting recipe with nothing being just quite right. This recipe is perfected and will be a birthday cake repeat for years to come.
For our family, all I did was substitute the sugar for coconut sugar and it was fantastic. I use this recipe frequently. Anyway, it tastes delicious. I SO screwed this up, but damn it if still tastes amazing!! Thanks, will make this again for sure. Hi Rumi, Did you use an electric mixer? How long did you mix it for?
It can take a few minutes. Also putting it in the fridge will help it set. I wanted to add to it because it looked so boring and flat. I only had skim milk so I used vanilla ice cream instead. I added walnuts on top of the icing and it turned out delicious. Thanks again, Andrea Limingelli. Hi Andrea, So glad you liked the frosting recipe and that the substitutions worked out for you.
Frosted banana bread sounds delicious! Madelyn, I have never tried adding anything to this frosting recipe but I think when the recipe is finished it would be fine to add an additional flavor like peanut butter, etc. Others have commented that they adding things like cocoa powder, etc. Just regular all purpose flour. Going to use this recipe moving forward as my family loved it.
Ran out of powdered sugar, saw this recipe, and I was so happy with the result. I did replace the vanilla with lemon extract, and added just a tablespoon of flour to thicken. It was perfect and sweetness was just right. Hi Lucy, So glad the recipe came in handy for you and that it turned out. Adding lemon sounds delicious. This worked great for my wheat free corn free girl. We also keep the flour in the freezer so I think that helped it mix well with the milk.
She was happy we found something without the funky tapioca starch taste you get with corn free powered sugar.
Hi Jennifer, So glad the recipe worked out for you using gluten free flour. This recipe saved my vegan cupcakes when I ran out of powdered sugar. I switched out the butter and milk with dairy free alternatives, and it was delicious. Hi Tracey, So glad you were able to make vegan frosting for your cupcakes. Sarah, Let us know how it turns out.

Article Summary. Method 1. Pick a type of sugar. Choose granulated white sugar, if you have it. Alternately, you can use coconut sugar, brown sugar or cane sugar.
Add cornstarch, if desired. Cornstarch helps prevent clumps so your sugar maintains a powdered consistency. Pulse or grind the sugar for about two minutes. Pour the sugar into a glass blender or food processor. You may want to avoid using a plastic blender. Stir the sugar with a spatula.
Wipe the spatula along the inside of the blender. Mix the sugar well so that it will blend and break down evenly. Pulse the sugar for two to three more minutes. Turn off and unplug the appliance, if applicable. Pick up a bit of sugar in your fingers and feel the texture. Resume grinding the sugar if it feels gritty, until its texture is powdery. Sift the sugar into a bowl. Stir the sugar with a fork.
Place a mesh strainer over a bowl. Spoon the sugar into the strainer. Tap the side of the sieve repeatedly to sift the sugar into the bowl. Alternately, you can aerate the sugar by mixing it with a wire whisk. Substitute your ground sugar for icing sugar. Make cake icing , such as buttercream or cream cheese icing. Frost cupcakes with peanut butter or berry icing.
Or hold a gingerbread house together with royal icing! Did you make this recipe? Leave a review. Method 2. Heat the flour and milk together. Whisk flour and milk together in a small saucepan over medium heat. Hi Emily, that is so great to hear that you and your kids enjoyed the frosting. It sounds like you had such a fun time baking together.
Blackberries sound delish. So glad you will be making the frosting for your future baking adventures. Thanks so much for sharing, and for the kind review. Loved this recipe before adding the cornstarch even better than normal cream cheese icing! But i didnt think it needed it anyway so would make again without! Glad to hear that it worked out for you without corn starch. Just out of curiosity, what did you use the frosting on?
Thanks for sharing. Oh yes this was amazing!!! I think I like milk too much lol cornstarch definitely did the trick to thicken it back upyummy yummy yummy :-p. Hi Jen, so glad to hear that you enjoyed the frosting!!! The strawberries sound like a great way to enjoy it.
I am glad to know that you found the recipe to be so flexible with the amount of cornstarch and milk you added. Nowhere near the same taste or consistency as normal frosting. I had to add extra vanilla and throw in cinnamon to make it even close to edible. Used thick honey, the more runny kind is hard to get ahold of here. Also I added fresh raspberries instead of milk, which made a nice pink color and taste. Glad to hear that you enjoyed the frosting Isabel.
Thanks for sharing your experience. The raspberries sound like a tasty addition. Do you think I could mix maple syrup and honey together? Yes, I think that would work fine. Let me know how it turns out :. Thank you!!!! So glad to hear that everyone loved it. Thanks for the kind comments, and reviews. I really appreciate it.

I used 3 tablespoons of honey 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1 to 2 tablespoons milk 1 to 2 tablespoons corn starch or sub arrowroot starch.
Cream : Add the room temperature cream cheese and butter to to bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl if using a hand mixer. Cream on high, until well mixed. Add the salt, sweetener of choice, and vanilla extract, and milk, mix again on high until well incorporated — scraping down sides as needed. Finish : Add 1 tablespoon of corn starch and mix until well incorporated.
At this point you can adjust the consistency of your frosting as desired. To thin it out add 1 teaspoon milk at a time. How much milk you need to add will depend on the consistency your prefer, and how much sweetener you add. Also, keep in mind that if you are using maple syrup, or agave nectar, which is more runny than honey, you may not need milk at all.
Keep checking the consistency as you go. It should be thick enough to not fall from a spoon when held up, yet it should be easy to spread. Frost : frost cooled cakes, cupcakes, cookies, or other baked goods immediately. You could make the frosting up to several days in advance, just bring it to room temperature before frosting.
