Ingredients
  

  • cup coconut milk cream stirred in
  • cup whole milk
  • 4 tablespoon flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup soft butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar NOT icing sugar!!

Instructions
 

  • Cook the coconut milk, whole milk and flour in a saucepan until it is as thick as brownie batter, stirring with a whisk frequently. It will take a good whack on the side of you pot with the whisk to get it all out when it's thick enough.
  • Cool until room temperature or cooler.
  • Stir in the vanilla.
  • In a stand mixer, or bowl with beaters, beat butter and sugar until the sugar is well mixed, but it will still be kinda grainy. This will take a couple of minutes.
  • Add cooled milk mixture and beat the living daylights out of it. It will be the consistensy of whipped cream. If it looks seperated...keep going! This will be quite a few minutes of high speed beating.
  • Scoop into a piping bag with large tip, or don't put a tip on and keep it as a big opening. Pipe onto cupcakes!
