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.
