  1. Way too sweet. Added a bit more milk, cream cheese and it mellowed the sweetness..much beetter
     
  2. Wonderful recipe! Very rich but a wonderful consistency and worth the effort. I made it for my Christmas Bouche de Noel.
     
  3. this is amazing and taste so good
     
  4. Very good. I used 4 tbsp. whole milk and 1/2 cup butter plus 4 tbsp. butter and it came out really creamy and not overly sweet or hard to spread. I also made chocolate cupcakes with it, and the combination of vanilla buttercream frosting on top of the chocolate cupcake is delicious and perfect! Thanks for posting!
     
  5. So easy!
