I tried this recipe tonight and wow! I am not a fan of BC but this is YUMMY! Not sickingly sweet, just right. Thank you indydebi!

- I use it under fondant.
- I do not refrigerate it.
- Yes, you use the Dream Whip in the powder form.
- Yes, it’s a crusting BC … it’s the big factor of why it’s become so popular.
- To make a good chocolate crusting BC honestly, I use Hershey’s Icing recipe on the side of the cocoa can! But you can add melted chocolate or cocoa to this one to make it chocolate. Don’t ask me how much. Just add it “until it looks right”!

I’m hearing good things about this recipe, but does anyone know how many cups of icing the recipe makes?

I’ve just made up a batch of this and it tastes great! I’m from the UK and I think i’ve managed to convert the measurements and ingredients correctly! (For other UKers I used Trex instead of crisco and Birds dream topping instead of dream whip)
Would we just replace some sugar with cocoa for a chocolate version?
Also can it be frozen? As I think I will have a lot left over!
Thanks so much for this recipe!! xx
