A delightful frosting with a hint of coconut and vanilla, perfect for cakes and cupcakes.
Place the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until it becomes fluffy.
Start at a low speed to avoid splattering.
Add the softened butter to the bowl and continue beating until well combined.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating after each addition until smooth.
Add the sugar in small batches to prevent a sugar cloud.
Pour in the sweetened coconut cream and vanilla extract, then beat until fully incorporated.
Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.
Use the frosting immediately or store it as needed.
If storing, cover tightly to prevent drying out.
