For a more intense coconut flavor, use unrefined coconut oil. However, be aware that this will impart a stronger coconut taste and aroma.
If your coconut oil solidifies at room temperature, make sure it's fully melted before starting the recipe for the smoothest frosting.
This frosting is best used immediately as it can harden if refrigerated. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it at room temperature in an airtight container and re-whip it before using.

    This frosting was a lifesaver for my daughter's birthday! She has a dairy allergy, and everyone loved it!

  • Jesus Bogisich

    Easy to make and tastes great! I added a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.

  • Jalen Deckow

    I found that refrigerating it made it too hard to spread, but letting it sit at room temperature for a bit helped.
