German Chocolate Cake Frosting

It’s way easy to start with something good and make it better. We do that all the time - bet you do too.

Retail stores sell toppings, icings and frosting, ready-made, and they’re not that bad. Commercial bakeries buy similar products, all made up, but in 5 gallon pails, or 55 gallon drums.

So let’s take a simple product you get at your market, and make it simply wonderful!

Ingredients

3/4 cup I can’t Believe it’s Not Butter
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 container canned vanilla frosting
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Use your electric mixer and have at it.

Go to the next flavor level by adding 2 tablespoons of your choice of flavored extracts, like almond, rum, orange, etc.

For the expresso thing, microwave the milk with some instant coffee. Make sure the crystals are dissolved.

Booze it up by substituting rum, chocolate liquor, etc. for the milk. When we do this, we add a little powdered milk to keep it super creamy tasting.
