My girls asked for a pink strawberry frosting underneath their Princess Castle Cake. This is the recipe I came up with, to both echo the coconut in the cake itself and to create a delicious pink color without all of the food dye. It is a decadent addition to any cake!
Ingredients
1 8oz package of cream cheese
1 cup of butter
1/4 cup of fresh pureed strawberries
2lbs or 8 cups of powdered sugar
2 tablespoons of coconut milk
1/2 cup coconut
(Do not add coconut if you are using this frosting as a crumb coat under fondant)
Preparation
1. Cream cream cheese and butter on medium speed.
2. Add pureed strawberries
3. Sift powdered sugar and add to mixing bowl a cup at a time.
4. Mix well for four minutes scraping the sides and bottom as needed.
5. Add coconut milk until desired consistency is reached.
Note: Cream cheese frosting is not a decorator frosting. To crumb coat smooth under fondant place in fridge for 10 minute increments.

I made it up!! The girls wanted pink frosting and the strawberries made it pink, delicious and dye free! The coconut milk was incredible. I am sure you could use coconut milk anytime in any frosting and have it turn out delicious!
