      Do you have a recipe for coconut frosting that does NOT have cream cheese or any cream cheese, or other cheese substitute in it? NO ONE in my entire family likes to eat or can eat cream cheese, but they all love coconut. I have not found any coconut frosting that does not include cream cheese or its substitute with another cheese in it. Thank you!

        Hi Jeanne- You can use our Classic Vanilla Buttercream recipe with coconut extract added to it (1 tsp or adjust to your liking)-- 7 Minute Frosting is also a great choice-- check out our Fluffy White Frosting recipe which is a 7 minute frosting- you can add coconut extract if you'd like!
