| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Cream together the butter, powdered sugar, and milk: In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer on low speed, combine the butter, powdered sugar, and milk until well blended. This should take around 1-2 minutes. The mixture will be slightly crumbly at first.🥄 |
| 2 | Increase mixer speed and beat: Once combined, increase the mixer speed to medium and beat the mixture for about 30 seconds or until it becomes smooth and creamy. This step helps to incorporate air into the frosting for a light and fluffy texture.🎂 |
| 3 | Blend in the melted white chocolate: Pour in the melted white chocolate into the creamy mixture. Continue to beat on medium speed for another minute or until the chocolate is fully incorporated. The frosting will begin to take on a lovely pale color and rich aroma.🍫 |
| 4 | Stir in the sweetened flaked coconut: Gently fold in the sweetened flaked coconut using a spatula or spoon. Make sure the coconut is evenly distributed throughout the frosting. The coconut adds a delightful texture and tropical flavor to the mix.🥥 |
| 5 | Use as desired: Your White Chocolate Coconut Frosting is now ready to be used! Spread it generously over cakes, cupcakes, cookies, or any other baked treats of your choice. Alternatively, you can also eat it by the spoonful—we won’t judge!😋 |
