Cream Cheese Frosting
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (16-oz.) package powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy.
Gradually add powdered sugar, beating at low speed until blended; stir in vanilla.
Toasted Coconut
- shredded or flaked coconut
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Spread coconut in a single layer on a baking sheet. (cover with parchment paper)
Place coconut in the oven. Check after about 2 minutes. Continue checking every minute until the coconut is the desired color. We like ours toasted on the edges, but still white in the middle.
Remove from the oven. Allow cooling.
