Hi Mattie - This is amazing, I am blown away seriously. Tastes is so creamy and light. I used this frosting to make a faux hostess cupcake and the crowd went wild. Thanks for the top on the ice cube trays too, I've been looking for something to hold my vegan butter for. On the now. Thank you.

I am planning on trying your cocoa based recipe next but was wondering if I could add xanthan gum to make this frosting a bit stiffer? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

All the best,
Mayra

So glad you like the frosting MayraBakes! Using it for a hostess cupcake-style filling sounds awesome. The issue with coconut oil is that since its melting temperature is so low (about 77F), keeping it stiff can become a real problem. And when it melts, it melts instantly. I've been wondering how this could be improved and xanthan gum just might be it!

My only concern is that frosting needs to be able to melt in the mouth, on-contact. Xanthan gum might interfere with this and make the frosting, well, gummy if added in the amount needed to stiffen it up. Let me know how this works out if you end up giving it a shot!
