Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 0.25 cup Arrowroot powder
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Place the can of coconut cream in the refrigerator overnight. Once chilled, scoop out the hardened cream into a mixing bowl, leaving behind any liquid, which can be used in another recipe.
Step 2
Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the coconut cream, and using a hand mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed for about 2 minutes until it's smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Slowly incorporate the coconut oil while continuing to beat the mixture. The coconut oil should be soft but not liquid; ideally, it has the consistency of softened butter. Beat for another minute until well combined.
Step 4
Sift in the arrowroot powder a little at a time while continuing to mix. The arrowroot will help thicken the frosting and give it structure. Mix until the powder is completely absorbed and the frosting is smooth.
Step 5
Add a pinch of salt and give the frosting one final mix to ensure all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 6
Chill the frosting in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before using it to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts.
Step 7
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Re-whip if necessary before using again.
