I'd like to make a vanilla icing, but it becomes clear when it dries on the cake.
Any tips and tricks?

Probably too thin. Add less water.

Confectioners sugar, parve milk a few drips, just enough to make the confectioners sugar thick and creamy.

Add a hard oil/fat.
Margarine, butter, coconut oil, crisco.
My basic go to simple frosting is melted margarine, powdered sugar, vanilla and a liquid (milk, water, fruit juice)

This. I'm not sure of the chemistry but it seems like most water-soluble ingredients (sugar, lemon juice, salt) go clear in solution. I usually make a buttercream or whipped white chocolate ganache for an opaque frosting.

The internet says a dot of purple food coloring to be extra white frosting.

Add a bit of corn syrup to give it that nice hard bakery sheen
