Coconut Cupcakes With White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting image

As adults we expect more. These are not your ordinary cupcakes. This cupcake supplies more flavor per bite. Using the coconut milk (DO NOT use Cream of coconut), instead of whole milk will help to intensify the flavor. This recipe comes from Cuisine at Home. Enjoy!

Overall, these cupcakes were a success! The coconut and white chocolate flavors were perfectly balanced, and the cupcakes were moist and fluffy. The frosting was rich and creamy, but not too sweet. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.
