A light tasting whipped frosting suitable for filling a rolled cake or whoopee pies. Great on angel food cake. Never fails as long as you don't let it cool uncovered or a skin will form on the paste.

Steps:
- Place butter in mixing bowl, add 2 cups powdered sugar; mix at low speed to obtain smooth paste. Whip at medium speed, adding the condensed milk until light and fluffy. Using a very clean bowl and beater, whip the egg whites until stiff while adding the 1/2 cup powdered sugar slowly. Mix this slowly into the above butter mixture. Add vanilla and remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar. This last amount of powdered sugar can be doubled if stiffer icing is desired.
Tips:
- Use the right ingredients. Make sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This includes using unsalted butter, pure vanilla extract, and confectioners' sugar.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the frosting, making it smooth and creamy. If you overbeat the butter and sugar, the frosting may become grainy.
- Add the milk and vanilla extract slowly. This will help to prevent the frosting from becoming too runny. If you add the milk and vanilla extract too quickly, the frosting may curdle.
- Beat the frosting until it reaches the desired consistency. The frosting should be thick and fluffy, but not too stiff. If the frosting is too stiff, it will be difficult to spread. If the frosting is too thin, it will be runny and may not hold its shape.
- Use the frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator. Whipped icing can be used immediately after it is made, or it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If you are storing the frosting in the refrigerator, be sure to bring it to room temperature before using it.
Conclusion:
Whipped icing is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a whipped icing that is light, fluffy, and full of flavor.
