Notes
Coconut butter frosting may melt in very warm weather. Serve from the fridge or substitute for a classic cream cheese frosting if necesary. What's the difference between coconut butter and coconut oil? Coconut butter has the whole meat of the coconut pureed into a creamy butter. It’s spreadable when slightly soft and has a thicker consistency perfect for spreads, frostings and eating straight off a spoon! Coconut oil is the oil extracted from the coconut meat and is best suited for cooking, adding to smoothies (in it's liquid state) and is great as a hair and skin moisturiser.
