If you are lactose intolerant, you can still enjoy the delicious taste of icing. Frosting a cake or drizzling icing over cookies does not have to be avoided when you are cooking for a lactose free diet. You can make a simple icing without milk ingredients, or use non-dairy substitutes in your favorite buttercream recipes. You may even think of new ways to use this delicious treat such as a dipping for fruits or a sweet topping on your breakfast muffins.

Step 1
Pour 4 cups of powdered sugar into a bowl.
