Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting

Goes perfectly with Coconut Cupcakes from MarthaStewartShow.com.

•8 Oz. softened low-fat cream cheese
•4 Tbsp. softened unsalted butter
•1 Tsp. pure vanilla extract
•4-4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
•3-4 Tbsp. low-fat coconut milk
•Dried Coconut (optional)

Whip cream cheese and butter until combined. Add Vanilla. Alternately add the milk and sugar, blending smooth between each add, ending with sugar. Whip until smooth and creamy. After frosting the cake, I like to sprinkle on unsweetened coconut flakes. For cupcakes you can just dip upside down into a bowl of coconut, and it covers great!

*This makes a very soft and creamy frosting. This would NOT be suitable for piping.
