I searched for an easy frosting for coconut cake. I had so much to do for Christmas Eve dinner I needed uncomplicated recipes. I made a sheet cake and cut it to form a snowman for a festive touch. I didn't measure coconut flakes. I added a little bit since I didn't want to make the frosting of cut cake edges to be difficult and then sprinkled flakes on cake once done. I was blown away at how good this frosting tasted and its ease of spreading it on the cake. This will certainly be a go to recipe going forward. I love it!!! So much so, this is my first recipe review and I've gotten a lot of recipes online.

Read MoreI made this frosting today and followed the suggestions of the previous comment for using cream of coconut instead of milk. It tasted fine, but didn't quite give the coconutty flavour I was looking for. Might try coconut extract next time. Again, it made way more than would fit on a 9 x 13 cake, which was fine because then I had extra to put on my graham crackers. Nonetheless, it was a delicious cream cheese frosting.
Read MoreThis recipe is very good but makes way too much frosting. I only used 2/3 of it on the coconut sheet cake. Also instead of the 3 T milk, I used 2 T of the cream of coconut from the cake recipe and I did not mix the coconut into the frosting, but sprinkled it on top.
