Notes
Nutrition label uses whole milk.
Storage: Cover tightly and store in the fridge up to 3 days. You may need to add a little milk before whisking it so the texture returns to normal.
To freeze: I recommend making it fresh when needed, but if you have leftover icing, you can freeze it for up to one month. Thaw overnight at room temperature before using it and stir well if it appears broken.
