300 Icing

---

Don't know where this recipe originated, just that it's been around my family for a long time. a very different method of making an icing, however, if you don't like the traditional powdered sugar ones, this is very light & doesn't taste as sweet. it is fantastic and a little thicker when cream cheese is substituted for butter.
