Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut butter
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Ensure the coconut butter is softened. If it is solid, warm it in a microwave-safe bowl for 10-15 seconds or until it becomes smooth and spreadable. Allow it to cool slightly before proceeding.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened coconut butter and powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed to incorporate the powdered sugar without creating a cloud of dust.
Gradually add the coconut milk, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to mix. The coconut milk will help achieve a creamy and spreadable consistency.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, then increase the mixer speed to medium. Beat until the frosting is light, fluffy, and smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Taste the frosting and adjust sweetness or creaminess to your preference. Add a tiny dash more coconut milk if the frosting is too thick, or a bit more powdered sugar if it's too thin.
Use the frosting immediately to spread on your cake or cupcakes, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours. If refrigerating, bring to room temperature and stir well before use.
