White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

18 oz. white chocolate
1/4 C. milk
1 C. shortening
1 C. butter
2 tsp. vanilla
8 C. powdered sugar
1/4 C. milk


Microwave chocolate and 1/4 C. milk on medium high for 1-2 min. Stir halfway through cooking time.Cream butter and shortening.  Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, beating well on medium after each addition. The frosting will seem really dry at this point.  Add 1/4 C. milk, beating at medium until light and fluffy.  Beat in chocolate.

I cut this recipe in half and I'd say it still made about 3 or 4 cups of frosting.
