Kelly — That is really strange. I’ll pay attention next time I make this. Thanks for letting me know you had issues with yield.

I made this frosting today for my son’s birthday cake. It tastes delicious and has a really neat consistency; however, I had to triple the recipe in order to get even the thinnest layer of frosting all over my two 8 inch round cakes. I could have used even more frosting, but I only had one little jar of the Artisana coconut butter. I’m not sure why my frosting didn’t go as far as yours!

rosebud – There is a big difference between coconut oil and coconut butter/cream.

Coconut Oil: The oil pressed out of the coconut meat.

Coconut Butter/Cream: The entire coconut meat that has been dehydrated at low temperatures and pureed.

You can’t use these interchangeably, at least not in this recipe.

What’s the difference between hard coconut oil and coconut cream? The website I read about coconut cream made it sound like the two were equivalent. Have you ever tried it with regular coconut oil?

It definitely sounds healthier than regular frosting. I would like to try it some time.
