Ingredients for Angela S Pineapple Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 8 ounces (227g) cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) powdered sugar
  • Pineapple Juice
  • Coconut Milk

How to Make Angela S Pineapple Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting

  1. In a food processor, combine 8 ounces (227g) cream cheese (softened), 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained, 1/2 cup (113g) sweetened shredded coconut, 1/4 cup (50g) powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed. This should take approximately 2-3 minutes.
  3. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more powdered sugar if desired.
  4. Transfer to a bowl and chill for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before using. This will also help the frosting thicken slightly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
