Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 ½ cups unsalted butter room temperature
  • 6 cups powdered sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsweetened coconut cream more as needed
  • ½ teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1 pinch salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Place butter in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add sugar, one cup at a time, and beat until combined -- it will be thick. Beat in coconut extract.
  3. Add coconut cream (ensure it is well stirred), a little at a time, and beat on high speed until light and fluffy. Continue adding the coconut cream until desired texture and firmness is reached.
  4. Add a pinch of salt (to your tastes) and beat until combined.
  5. Spread or pipe onto cake or cupcakes.

Notes

  • This makes enough icing for a 9" layer cake.
  • Coconut frosting will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week.
