Instructions

  1. Beat butter on its own in a stand mixer for 5-10 minutes on high until pale and fluffy.
  2. Add coconut cream and beat on medium until combined, just about 15 - 30 seconds.
  3. Add 1 cup powdered sugar, beat to combine. Repeat 2 more times with remaining powdered sugar. Add vanilla & beat on high 2 more minutes until combined. 
  4. Ice 12 cupcakes or one 9-inch cake; enjoy!

Notes

  • * Coconut cream will separate if you beat it on its own for too long, so that’s why it is a separate step. 
  • * You can do this with a hand mixer, but the butter may not get fluffy enough.
  • Storing: In an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Let sit at room temperature for 8 - 15 minutes before frosting cake or cupcakes.
  • Dairy-Free: Use vegan butter.
