Prep 15 min Serves 12 Source

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened (226g))
  • 1 pound powdered sugar ((450g))
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons coconut cream
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Steps

  1. 1

    In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk or paddle attachment, cream the butter for about 3 minutes, until lightened in color and fluffy.

  2. 2

    Add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, mixing on low speed between each addition, for about 30 seconds or until fully combined. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.

  3. 3

    Add the coconut and vanilla extracts, coconut cream and salt. Mix on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, until the frosting is smooth and fluffy. If the frosting is too thick, add more coconut cream and mix well to reach your desired consistency.
