Doesn’t this Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting look pretty? Dress up any cupcake flavour with this recipe!
Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup unsalted butter
1 can Blue Dragon coconut milk, refrigerated overnight (don’t choose the light version)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
4-6 cups confectioner’s sugar (AKA powdered sugar)
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut – optional
Directions
Beat softened cream cheese and butter together until light and fluffy.
Carefully open the can of coconut milk, there will be a thick layer of solid coconut cream on top. Scoop out this layer, leaving the watery coconut milk behind. (Save the coconut milk for smoothies) Mix in the coconut cream, vanilla and coconut extract.
Gradually add the confectioner’s sugar one cup at a time, beat until all ingredients are combined and smooth. Add additional confectioners’ sugar if necessary to thicken the frosting, or a little coconut milk to thin. Stir in the shredded coconut, if desired.
Because I was piping my icing onto some red velvet cupcakes, I didn’t add the shredded coconut this time, but it’s a nice addition if you are doing a layered cake.

Yum! I would never have thought of using coconut milk in my cream cheese frosting. I think it was be particularly good on a carrot cake.
