Ever since my daughter turned one I have been trying to come up with a tasty and creamy cake frosting that is dairy-free, soy-free and sugar- free… today she turned 3 and I finally got it.
She can finally have a more traditional looking birthday cake.
I’m posting this hoping that someone makes this for my birthday next year ( hint, hint)
Ingredients:
1 cup of coconut oil
1 cup of full fat coconut milk, canned or homemade
1 tbsp of vanilla extract
5 tsp of arrowroot powder
4 tbsp of raw honey.
Preparation:
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the vanilla, arrowroot, and coconut milk and bring to a boil.
- Lower heat and continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Melt in the coconut oil and remove from heat.
- Once the mixture is at room temperature, mix in the honey using an electric mixer or immersion blender (coconut milk and oil will still separate at this point).
- Refrigerate overnight or for several hours until it hardens
- Whisk again using an electric mixer until it has a consistency similar to whipped cream
- Frost cake or cupcake and top with coconut flakes or fresh fruit

I have been looking for a recipe like this for days. All the recipes I’ve come across for non-dairy, non-soy whipped cream either require a vitamix or will only stay emulsified for a few hours.
I can’t wait to try this out! Thank you!

Look delish!! My son has epilepsy – we treat naturally. This means no soy, corn, cassein or, gluten. What is the cake recipe? Same omitted? I have 3 BD’s to celebrate, and Fathers Day this weekend! Yikes! Help if you can? Anna

This looks great! I’ve been looking for a recipe for my son who can’t have dairy. But, what do you think? Can I sub olive oil? I’m in Italy and can’t find coconut oil anywhere. Besides olive oil, the only thing I find are processed vegetable oils which I refuse to use.

I don’t think you could substitute Coconut oil with olive oil. Coconut oil is thick, firm like shortening and little bit sweet. I do have a frosting that is made with cashews and macadamias but I must admit that it is not as good. Let me know if you want the recipe

i have no idea why but i’ve been trying this recipe all night and it just will not come out like yours. looks like it curdled or something
Edible Harmony July 1, 2012 at 12:30 am
yes! I will look like that when you first cook it, put it in the fridge and by the morning it will set, then whip it with an electric beater until creamy. Let me know how it turns out

I just found out today that I’ll be making something like 3 dozen cupcakes for my niece’s birthday in a few weeks. This looks exactly like what I need for frosting – any ideas how much I might need to frost that many cupcakes? 2 batches, maybe? And would this be a good frosting to decorate with – like a buttercream type with icing tips and such – or better to just spread on? Thanks!
On the sunny side, this DOES mean that we have a couple of weeks to try out some sweets recipes here at home. My kids will be THRILLED – not to mention, Hubby.

I hope I’m not too late to respond to this, with this recipe you could frost about 12 cupcakes. I usually just spread it on top, but if you whip it and put it back in the fridge one more time to harden you can do a lot more “designing” with it. Let me know how they turned out

So I put it in a tupperware and stuck it in the fridge for a day but it never hardened. still liquidy…should I stick it in the freezer? or did i do something wrong here?
Edible Harmony August 28, 2012 at 2:23 pm
Something went wrong. Sorry!
Coconut oil and raw honey are hard even at room temperature. Did you use regular honey or low fat coconut milk?
