Coco Butter (Vegan Coconut Buttercream)

My sister has been vegan since college which was, ahem, just a couple of years ago, so it became my baking mission in life to make her delicious baked treats that wouldn't make her feel like she was missing something. This is is by far the best vegan frosting I have ever made. I highly suggest it for any and all of your vegan loved ones out there.



Coconut "Butter" Cream 























































Ingredients:
1 Cup Coconut CREAM (not milk) Cold 
1/4 Cup Vegetable Shortening  
2 tsp Vanilla Extract  
4 Cups Confectioners Sugar (sifted)
4-5 tbsp Coconut Milk 

Prep Time: 24 Hours
Active Prep Time: 10 Minutes

Servings: 12 Cupcakes
  
Directions:
In a stand mixer, place the butter and cold coconut cream and give it a quick mix. Add the vanilla extract and 2 cups of the confectioners sugar at a time and whip for 3-5 minutes until the frosting is creamy and whipped texture.  If the frosting is too thick add coconut milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach desired texture.
