Quick! Cake frosting made with coconut oil?
Can I make a cake frosting using coconut oil as the fat? If so, how? I'm dairy/soy/corn/wheat & nut free.

mix agave nectar, coconut oil and cocoa/carob/cacao. It makes the MOST delicious chocolate mixture EVER. You will have to keep it refrigerated after you frost your cake, but it's SO yummy. You will find yourself eating a lot of it...so make extra. :shifty

oh, and if you refrigerate it-it tastes like a chocolate bar...a really heavenly chocolate bar. and you can drizzle it on fruit (not refrigerated though) or dip fruit in it, then refrigerate, then eat your chocolate covered fruit later. :yum

When I was dairy free, I just used it with the same measurement I normally would for the fat in my regular buttercream icing.

I just realized that if you are corn free, you can't use powdered sugar. :doh
Maybe honey or brown rice syrup? |

Re: Quick! Cake frosting made with coconut oil?
I have brown rice syrup. I may even ave some corn-free confectioner that I made :think

Re: Quick! Cake frosting made with coconut oil?
Hmm.... all the buttercream recipes call for dry milk, etc. I also don't have any rice milk,, or I'd be making my standard icing.

I've never made BC with dry milk, just fat, powdered sugar, flavoring, and liquid. You can use water for milk just fine.

There is a recipe I found on allrecipes.com that I just subbed coconut oil and rice milk for and it was very rich and tasty - you just have to remember to warm the bowl in hot water to make the frosting spreadable if you let it sit for too long (and if it's hot out then it will be too melty).

This is what I ended up doing:
Brown Rice Syrup Coconut Oil Cocoa Powder Vanilla Extract Shredded Coconut (at the least minute) I heated it up because the coconut oil was solid. Is there another way to handle this? It was so good on my gluten-free chocolate cake :yum |
