How to make dairy free frosting and glaze from coconut milk/cream?

Making dairy free frosting and glaze from coconut milk or cream is like turning a soft cloud into something sweet you can spread on cake.

Imagine you have a jar of coconut milk, it's like the inside of a coconut, all creamy and smooth. When you shake it up, the thick part rises to the top, like a happy bubble. That’s coconut cream! If you use that, you get a rich, thick frosting. If you use the whole shaken-up jar, you get something lighter, more like a glaze.

How It Works

  1. Take your coconut milk or cream, and shake it up until the thick part comes to the top.
  2. Scoop out the thick part for frosting or use the whole mix for glaze.
  3. Add some sugar (or sweetener) and maybe a little vanilla, like adding sprinkles to your favorite snack!
  4. Mix it all together until it’s smooth, and then spread it on your cake.

It’s like making a soft, creamy cloud that tastes like sweetness, no need for magic, just a little shake and mix!
