I would give this icing a 5-star rating if it wasn't for the fact that it's a bit too sweet for my taste.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my icing turned out too runny. I think I might have added too much milk.

This icing is delicious, but it's a bit time-consuming to make. I would recommend making it ahead of time and refrigerating it until you're ready to use it.

I found this icing to be a bit grainy. I think it would be better if the butter was softened to room temperature before beating it.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed this icing. It's not too sweet and the coconut flavor is subtle.
