Coconut Cream Frosting (Dairy Free)

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup coconut oil (firm)
• 6 tablespoons regular canned coconut milk *
• 2-4 cup confectioners' sugar

Instructions

1. Combine the coconut oil and coconut milk in a large mixing bowl. Using a handheld mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat until combined and creamy.
2. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until the frosting becomes thick and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Recipe Notes

It is important to shake the can of coconut milk vigorously before opening it. The fats and liquids separate in the can after sitting. You want a combination of both for the frosting, so mix it very well.

If the coconut flavor isn't as strong as you'd like, try adding 1/2 to 1 teaspoons coconut extract.

You can also add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for more flavor.
