Easy Kid-Pleasin' Strawberry Buttercream Frosting image

The ultimate kid pleaser, great frosting for baking Recipe #396312 as cupcakes. Would also be tasty on a traditional vanilla/white cake! I love getting creative with Nesquik.

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Yield 48 tbsp approx, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 tablespoons salted butter (it helps set- add a shake of table salt if using unsalted)
3 cups confectioners' sugar, must be beaten in gradually
1/2 cup strawberry-flavor Nestle Nesquik powder
1/2 cup 2% low-fat milk (any kind is fine but I normally keep 2% around)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Butter must be highly softened but NOT melted. I'd recommend leaving it out in a safe area for about 20 minutes.
  • With an electric mixer, cream the butter with 1 cup confectioners sugar and the milk.
  • Beat in the Nesquik and vanilla extract.
  • In small increments, beat in the rest of the confectioners' sugar. For a stiffer frosting, add a little more confectioners sugar.
  • This will ice about 24-36 cupcakes assuming you use about 2-3 Tbsp per cupcake. It's best to make this after you've baked and are ready to use it because refridgeration will cause it to set and make it practically unspreadable.

This frosting is terrible! It's too sweet, too runny, and it doesn't taste like strawberries at all.

Overall, I thought the frosting was just okay. It wasn't as good as I was hoping for.

The frosting was easy to make, but it didn't hold up well on my cake. It started to melt after a few hours.

I had a hard time getting the frosting to the right consistency. It was either too runny or too thick.
