Michael' said:I think the wife is tired of the heavy-duty chocolate taste
that I get when I use the Hershey's icing, too. Any ideas
on a good alternative icing that wouldn't weigh so heavy on
the chocolate side?
This stuff tastes a lot like whipped cream, doesn't become runny after
time, isn't subject to changes in humidity, and freezes well. I use raw
egg whites every time it's just for us. When we're contributing to a
potluck or something, I use powdered egg whites, just in case.
