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

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
