Coconut Frosting

1. Combine coconut milk, butter, shortening, extracts, and salt in one bowl. Mix well. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with just enough water to make it dissolved entirely when you mix. Add this to your wet ingredients.
2. In another bowl, combine sugar and coconut shreds. Add the wet ingredients. Mix well.
3. Put covered in fridge until ready to frost your cake.
