Coconut-Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Frosting and Icing Recipes. (Coconut-Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe). I wanted a frosting for a coconut layer cake that stood up to a stronger flavor without overpowering it and without being too sweet. If frosting a layer cake, I recommend spreading melted apricot preserves over the center layer, along with some frosting.
