Editor's note:

Hi Mil,

For White Chocolate Almond Frosting I would change the vanilla extract to almond and maybe stir in about 1/2 cup coarsely chopped almonds at the end. If you more almond flavor than that, you could work some almond paste into the canned frosting before beating it into the cream mixture.

Happy Baking!
