Ingredients
0.75 cup Copha
0.25 number White butter -(such as Lurpak)
4 cups icing sugar
1 tsp Vanilla extract
2 tbsp Milk
0.75 cup Copha
Directions
- Place the butter and Copha into a large bowl and use an electric mixer to cream them together. If either is too hard to mix, leave it sitting out for an hour beforehand.
- Add the vanilla, and then add one cup of sugar at a time until all the sugar has been added. Use a medium mixer speed while adding the sugar to keep it from flying out against the sides.
- The mixture should look pretty dry once all the sugar goes in, so now you want to add the milk and keep mixing it until the icing is fluffy and light.
- If you’re using it right away, cover the bowl with a damp cloth to keep it from drying out. Otherwise, store it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container. When you’re ready to use it, get it out and rewhip it for a few minutes.
- If you want your white icing with a slightly thinner consistency, for spreading, add 2 tbsp of either milk, water, or light corn syrup.
- Recipe Hints and Tips:
- You can use Copha instead of the butter for an even whiter finish – but you will be substituting taste
