Malted Milk Frosting has a smooth and rich taste thanks to malted milk powder. You can buy it at many large grocery stores or baking supply stores. Also, try the internet - it's for sale everywhere! Well, not really.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup plain or chocolate malted milk powder
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • pinch salt
  • 1-3 tablespoons light cream

Preparation:

In medium bowl, beat butter with malted milk powder until creamy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, salt, and 1 tablespoon cream and beat well. Add more powdered sugar or cream as needed for desired spreading consistency.

If you use chocolate malted milk powder, add 3 tablespoons cocoa powder to make Chocolate Malted Milk Frosting, or add 1 square unsweetened chocolate, melted. You may need more powdered sugar if you use melted chocolate - about 1/3 cup. Frosts 36 cookies.
