1/4 cup softened unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
2 teaspoon heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon coconut flavoring
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup (optional) toasted sweetened shredded coconut
Directions
Beat the cream cheese and butter in a mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar, one cup at a time, alternating with heavy cream. Beat in the salt, coconut flavoring, and vanilla extract. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and spreadable.
