Great tasting coconut cream cheese frosting! Turned out slightly runny for me, though, hence the 4 stars only.

    Very good. Complements the coconut cake nicely. I usually have leftover frosting which can be used as a dip for fresh strawberries.

    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
