Tips & Substitutions

If looking for a dairy-free option, substitute the milk with almond or coconut milk. For added flavor, consider toasting the coconut before adding it to the icing. This icing pairs beautifully with Angel Food Cake Strawberry Dessert, enhancing the overall taste.
Serving Suggestions
This coconut icing is delightful on various cakes, especially vanilla or chocolate cakes. To serve, generously spread the icing over a cooled cake and garnish with additional coconut or nuts on top for decoration. It also complements light desserts such as Brunch Mary or can be enjoyed as a dip for fresh fruits.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover icing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. If the icing thickens, allow it to come to room temperature and stir gently before using. When ready to use, you can reheat it slightly in the microwave for a few seconds to soften if needed, but avoid overheating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use butter instead of margarine in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute butter for margarine in Noralene Stock's Coconut Icing. The flavor will be richer, and the texture may be slightly different, but it will still work well. Just ensure the butter is softened to cream easily with the sugar and flour.
How do I know when the icing is creamy enough?
The icing is ready when it has a smooth, spreadable consistency without any lumps. When boiling the mixture, keep stirring until it thickens to a creamy texture. If it seems too thick, you can add a splash more milk to loosen it up while maintaining the creamy feel.
Can I add more coconut to the icing?
Absolutely! You can adjust the amount of coconut according to your taste preference. If you love coconut, feel free to increase the amount beyond 1/2 cup. Just remember that too much coconut might affect the icing's consistency, so add gradually and mix well.
