Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting




Source of Recipe


baking by flavor Cookbook


Recipe Introduction


This compliments a carrot cake very well.


List of Ingredients




12 ounces cream cheese, softened
5 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
2 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
3 tbsp. heavy cream
1/8 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
5 1/2 cups unsifted confectioners sugar
3/4 cup lightly packed sweetened flaked coconut



Recipe



Using an electric hand mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter in a large mixing bowl on moderate speed for 1 minute, or until creamy and well combined. Blend in the vanilla extract, heavy cream and nutmeg. ON low speed, add the confectioners sugar in three additions, beating until throughly combined before adding the next batch. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl frequently with a rubber spatula to keep the frosting even textured. Blend inthe coconut.

If you are preparing the frosting in advance, press a sheet of food safte plastic wrap over the surface of the frosting and set aside. Use the frosting within 30 minutes of mixing. All baked goods topped with cream cheese frosting should be kept refridgerated after the frosting has set.
