A dairy-free, flully, white buttercream-like frosting perfect for birthday cakes and cupcakes.
1 c. cocnut oil
1 c. palm shortening
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 T. maple syrup
4 c.+/- powdered sugar
coloring, if desired
Melt coconut oil in microwave for about 2 mins, until completely melted. Place in fridge or freezer to resolidify, then allow it to come to room temperature. (This gets rid of any lumps for a nice, smooth frosting.) Cream the oil with the shortening, add vanilla and maple syrup, then cream again until smooth. Slowly add the powdered sugar until you get a light, fluffy consistency. Whip in any coloring you like, then frost just like buttercream. It even works well piped!
