Categories: Frosting

Ingredients

• 2 cups white chocolate or vanilla baking chips
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon coconut extract
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 Tablespoon salted butter
• 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
• Note: Use double boiler

Directions

1. Fill the bottom part of the double broiler with water. Make sure the water doesn’t touch the underside of the top.

2. Put the white chocolate or vanilla chips and the salt in the top of the double boiler, set it over the bottom, and place the double boiler on the stovetop at MEDIUM heat. Stir occasionally until the white chocolate or vanilla chips are melted.

3. Stir in the can of sweetened condensed milk. Cook approximately 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the frosting is shiny and of spreading consistency.

4. Shut off the heat, remove the top part of the double boiler, and set it on a cold stovetop burner. Quickly stir in the coconut extract and the lemon zest. (It may sputter a bit, so be careful.)

5. Add the salted butter and stir it in until it melts.

6. Keep stirring your frosting until it cools enough to reach proper spreading consistency.
