Yes, yes, yes and , uh, yes. Yes, you can make it in advance...I made a batch on the 3rd and used the rest of that batch today and it was still just as yummy. You don't have to refridgerate but I do...in tupperware. Yes, you can color it and store it as well. Hope I answered everything!

Hello, I have been meaning to try this buttercream too but haven't had the chance yet. As well as the ingredients stated, could I also add in melted chocolate to make it more chocolatey

Yup...did that this weekend. Use Bakers UNsweetend chocolate and it's 8oz per batch of Indy's BC. Make sure to stir it into room temp BC or the chocolate will seize. It was YUMMY! BTW...I didn't want a whole batch of chocolate, just enough to fill one tier, so I started out with about 2 cups of BC and added in an oz at a time till I got it as chocolaty as I wanted it. It was perfect!

Like Cat said it will keep just fine at room temperature. I make several batches of this icing every week and it will keep fine at room temperature for up to two weeks. I never refrigerate my icing or my cakes.

I also use it to make my chocolate buttercream just like Cat said. Using UNsweetened chocolate squares. You also have to add extra milk (I use half and half) when adding the chocolate because it thickens the buttercream. I add only a teaspoon at a time so that I'm careful not to add too much liquid. This makes the absolute BEST chocolate buttercream that I've ever had thumbs_up.gif
Not only does it taste wonderful but it still crust and smooths the same as the "original" icing, which is a huge plus for me. I love this recipe.

This is probably a stupid question but I need to ask. The receipe requires powdered dream whip. I have bought the british version in the UK. Do I just empty the contents from the sachet into the rest of the ingredients or do I actually MAKE the whip beforehand and spoon the correct amount of the whip into the ingredients?

I have made indydebi's buttercream, but mine was a little too crusty, do I add more shortening or more milk?

I prefer my recipe better, but my family preferred indydebi, so I guess we have a new buttercream icing.....lol

I'd say shortening. Some buttercreams are 1:1 sugar to fat ratio. Her recipe is more like 2:1. I'm not sure about adding more milk. icon_confused.gif I like the fact that it crust so fast.

I'm gonna have to try the chocolate version. I know the regular version is great, but the chocolate sounds amazing!
