Used this to top Coconut Cream Pie # 14699. It is wonderful! It holds up really well, even after a couple days! This recipe will definately be a staple in our house! Thanks for posting!

I use this recipe all the time, but instead of the vanilla, my recipe calls for cherry schnapps.

very light and airy but not as sweet as i hoped it would be. but then i put it in the fridge for later and it turned into a jello-like texture. plus i doubled the recipe to cover a 9x13 cake. awesome icing but could use extra flavor, next time i will try adding sometihing
