Yum! Added cocoa powder and used agave syrup. Melting then freezing the coconut oil is a new method that I’ll keep using in the future.
Thanks for the great recipe!

My sister and I are coconut-o-philes, and we have a deal that we make a coconut cake on each of our birthdays. So, over the 60 years we’ve been making, we’ve made hundreds of cake and frosting recipes. When we discovered this one, all trials were cancelled. This is THE ONE. We will never look back! It is that extraordinary. We had made for my birthday a 4-layer coconut cake (with fresh coconut) and doubled this frosting recipe, topped with toasted well, you know what. Our spouses, who claim not to like cake or sweets, ate the cake for dessert, then for breakfast, then for lunch. It only lasted 2 days. We all agreed that it was the frosting. WARNING: Addictive.

Hi Gemma,
That’s too bad that it didn’t turn out. 🙁 How much almond milk did you add?

I used golden syrup thinned with water as it was all I had. I then added almond milk to thin it more and it split 😭.
Still tasted amazing and will definitely use this as my go to vegan frosting so much easier than the coconut cream one I usually use. Just make it properly next time

In reply to Chey. I don't think olive oil would work for this type of frosting, since it's not solid at room temperature like coconut oil.

I only have olive oil, would that work?

Have you made a chocolate version of this?

In reply to Candace Stewart. Yes, it should be fine as long as the room temperature is under 77 degrees or so and kept covered up so it doesn’t dry out. If it’s just frosting I would probably give it extra whipping just before frosting in case it has separated under its own weight. After I have frosting on the cake I leave it on the counter, covered up, for up to 3 days without issues.
