I have a serious love for all things coconut and this is at the very tippy-top of my list.
During show prep I was all kinds of "free" or "low" and often times "no". This type of restriction coupled with cravings kept me either out of my mind or creatively seeking concoctions in the kitchen.
Mission: Must have something sweet and satisfying without killing my low carb, low fat, no fun prep diet.
Voila, Coconut Cream Frosting.
1 Can - Trader Joe's Coconut Cream
1 Tsp - Vanilla Extract
2 TBL - Peanut Butter
2 TBL - Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
The night before making place coconut cream can in fridge to chill (this helps with the frosting consistency). Once chilled, scoop out coconut cream into bowl careful not to get the liquid at the bottom of the can. Whip with beaters. Stir in unsweetened cocoa powder, add peanut butter and vanilla and whip again with beaters until well mixed. I always eat a spoonful right away then place in the fridge for later, mostly I'm back with a spoon in 5 mins.
The great thing about this recipe is that it has a great healthy fat which satisfies cravings and doesn't set off any further cravings for sugars or fat, it's also dairy free, sugar free, low carb. If you need it sweetener, just add whatever sweetener you use.
