i have used this recipe quite a few times. i use vanilla and almond flavor...i get lots of compliments....it's best if you can make it a few days in advance to let the flavors and non dairy creamer "sit". this is now my regular frosting

I really enjoyed this. I used this to make hearts on suger cookies for a wedding shower. The combo of flavors was great together.

My mother made this and warned me away from the almond extract, saying it was horrible. I tried it with orange extract and it was great. I am going to try it again tonight with clear vanilla extract.
