To toast coconut: Spread shredded coconut in a thin layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Alternatively, toast in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until golden brown. For the best flavor, use high-quality coconut flavoring or extract. Avoid artificial-tasting flavorings. This frosting can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using.
