Coconut Cream Icing Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated (overnight) can of organic coconut milk or 1 can of coconut cream (I use Native Forest Organic Coconut Cream)
- orange for zest
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 chilled mixing bowl
Coconut Cream Icing Instructions
- If using coconut milk, scoop cream off the top and place in a chilled mixing bowl (save the liquid for one of my smoothie or sauce recipes, no waste!)
- If using coconut cream, scoop out and place in chilled bowl, bust out your hand mixer and mix on high speed until soft peaks form.
- Slowly mix in maple syrup and orange zest until combined.
- Wait for the muffins to cool completely before piping icing on and enjoy!
