I just made this last night! It's an Almond-Coconut Frosting that I decorated on vanilla cupcakes for mom's early birthday treat! Last night, because I was lazy and am out of powdered sugar I used store-bought vanilla frosting as my base, but love this simple buttercream frosting from here. I also added pure almond extract and coconut flakes until I reached the desired texture and flavor I wanted! Oh! And for color I used the red-sugar sprinkles and mixed those in too! Gives the frosting an extra little crunch and sweetness. Yum!
1 cup butter, softened
3-4 cups powdered sugar
1-2 Tablespoons milk or half and half
1 teaspoon vanilla
3-4 cups powdered sugar
1-2 Tablespoons milk or half and half
1 teaspoon vanilla
In large mixing bowl, beat butter until fluffy. Add three cups sugar, 1 Tablespoon milk, and vanilla. Beat until combined and fluffy. Adjust with more sugar or milk, depending on what consistency you’re looking for.
Tonight, I warmed the left over frosting and added extra coconut to the mixture. Then spread it over a mini cake (well, it's cake baked in a mini-bread pan) to share with the family for mom's real birthday! Here are some pictures!
