What a great and easy frosting. Very much liked the cream of coconut instead of the texture given by coconut. Like the taste but not the texture. I haven't found anything yet that this was not good on. From cakes and muffins to cookies. Thank you -
Yum! Used this with Recipe #43684 with excellent results. One can of Coco Lopez was enough for both recipes. Would be wonderful on a variety of cakes (carrot, pineapple, chocolate, yellow), brownies... my imagination is running wild. Thanks for sharing the recipe! -
Perfect on the coconut cake! Thank you for sharing!!!! -
This was SO good. I actually used this on a chocolate cake and I added real coconut too... I happen to love the texture of it. Chocolate and coconut... It was awesome. This is definitely a keeper! -
Great tasting coconut cream cheese frosting! Turned out slightly runny for me, though, hence the 4 stars only.
