Ingredients for coconut frosting

coconut cream – Coconut cream is concentrated and thick and made from cooked coconuts. It differs from coconut milk, which is made by soaking the pulp in boiling water and straining it.

butter – Use real unsalted butter for rich flavor and good consistency. Margarine and butter alternatives have higher oil and water ratios, so the results will not be the same. Unsalted butter works best, but if you only have salted butter, don’t add salt to your recipe.

sugar – Powdered sugar gives it an extra fluffy texture and dissolves in the butter.
Doesn’t it have powdered sugar? Adding 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to each cup of regular white sugar and stirring in a food processor or coffee grinder works equally well.

coconut extract – Coconut extract adds even more coconut flavor! You can find it in the baking section of most grocery stores. Add to your Amazon cart here.

variation – Chopped coconut (sweetened or unsweetened) can be gently mixed in or used as a garnish, if desired. Lightly toasting the coconut adds crunchiness and a pop of color. Add a drop or two of food coloring to create a shade of pink, green, yellow, or whatever color suits your recipe for the day.

How to make coconut frosting

  1. Mix butter until light and fluffy (as per the recipe below).
  2. Add the sugar one cup at a time, then add the extract.
  3. Slowly add coconut cream until desired texture and consistency is reached. Add a pinch of salt (optional) and spread or pipe onto cakes or cupcakes.

Can you get ahead?
