Ingredients
- 6 tablespoon butter room temperature (I like to use salted butter)
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup coconut cream room temperature
Instructions
- Beat butter on its own in a stand mixer for 5-10 minutes on high until pale and fluffy.
- Add coconut cream and beat on medium until combined, just about 15 - 30 seconds.
- 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.
- 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.
