Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut cream
- 0.5 cup Ghee
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Arrowroot flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Place the coconut cream in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight so that it thickens.
Once the coconut cream has thickened, scoop it into a large mixing bowl.
Add the ghee, vanilla extract, honey, arrowroot flour, and salt to the bowl with the coconut cream.
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the mixture until it becomes smooth and fluffy. This process should take about 5-7 minutes.
If the frosting is too runny, place it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to thicken.
Taste the frosting and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired, ensuring you maintain Whole30 compliance.
Use the frosting immediately on your favorite Whole30-approved cakes or cupcakes, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
