Coconut Cream Frosting

It's like butter cream, without dairy. And it will taste like coconut.

Coconut Cream Frosting
1/2 c coconut oil, softened
1 1/2 c powdered sugar
1-2 T almond milk or any flavored liquid
1 t vanilla extract (optional)

Soften oil, mix in other ingredients. Thin with liquid as needed. Basically it's one part coconut oil to three parts powdered sugar, and add liquid until its spreadable. It will thicken to a stiff frosting, coconut oil is solid at room temperature.
