The ultimate kid pleaser, great frosting for baking Pink Brownies Lite & Fluffy as cupcakes. Would also be tasty on a traditional vanilla/white cake! I love getting creative with Nesquik. Ingredients:
8 tablespoons salted butter (it helps set- add a shake of table salt if using unsalted) |
3 cups confectioners' sugar, must be beaten in gradually |
1/2 cup strawberry-flavor nestle nesquik powder |
1/2 cup 2% low-fat milk (any kind is fine but i normally keep 2% around) |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Butter must be highly softened but NOT melted. I'd recommend leaving it out in a safe area for about 20 minutes.
2. With an electric mixer, cream the butter with 1 cup confectioners sugar and the milk.
3. Beat in the Nesquik and vanilla extract.
4. In small increments, beat in the rest of the confectioners' sugar. For a stiffer frosting, add a little more confectioners sugar.
5. This will ice about 24-36 cupcakes assuming you use about 2-3 Tbsp per cupcake. It's best to make this after you've baked and are ready to use it because refridgeration will cause it to set and make it practically unspreadable.
