Notes
This is a great filling and frosting for cakes. You can frost a cake with this buttercream and then add shredded coconut on top.
Only pipe this frosting using a large round tip, if you use a small or star tip the coconut will get stuck.
You can use coconut cream to sub for the milk but will only need 3 tbsp.
