Say hello to...vanilla icing.

Most icing/frosting recipes call for milk. My husband and I both don't drink milk or cook with milk so I decided to change a very basic icing recipe and use yogurt instead of milk. It works wonderfully and adds a slight different taste.

Ingredients
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 cups confectioner's sugar
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1-2 tbsp of plain stirred yogurt

1. In a medium bowl, cream together butter and sugar with a fork.
2. Add confectioner's sugar and stir together.
3. Add vanilla extract and yogurt, stirring.
4. If needed, add more yogurt for desired consistency.

To make chocolate icing, simply add 2 tbsp of cocoa or carob powder and cream together with butter and sugar.
