Below is a recipe I found in one of my cooking magazines. I haven't tried it yet, but thought maybe this will help.

2 c. shortening
1/2 c. nondairy creamer
1 tsp. almond extract
1 pkg. (32 oz) confectioners sugar
1/2 to 3/4 c. water
Food coloring, optional

In a mixing bowl, beat the shortening, creamer and extract. Gradually beat in sugar. Add enough water until frosting reaches desired consistency. If desired, add food coloring. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Bring to room temperature before spreading. Yield: 8 cups.
