Coconut Pecan Frosting
What you need:
1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
1 cup pecans
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegan margarine
1/2 cup nondairy milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
What you do:
1. Boil together all ingredients in a medium to large saucepan over medium-high heat for 12 minutes, stirring constantly.
2. Pour, then spread on cake while frosting is still warm.
3. Let set up for a few minutes before serving (sets up faster if you cover it and place it in the fridge).
I used this for my German Chocolate wedding cake and it was a big hit! No one believed it was vegan.

SO HOW'D IT GO?
Koken:
I use regular 'ol non-sweetened coconut, or I use sweetened coconut (but I cut down the sugar to 1/2 a cup then).
I also use a 1/4 cup of vegan margarine spread and a 1/4 cup of applesauce when I am in diet mode.
Substituting applesauce for all of the margarine isn't bad either, but don'e expect it to be so rich then.
Good luck! ;D
I hope my info was helpful.
I like putting this on my chocolate cake. It's really good. I use walnuts instead of pecans, and it tastes just fine.
I especially like the coconut, as it is sweet, but not overly sweet.
Great job! :D
I just want to ask about the coconut, is it hard meat of coconut or soft and is it in can or fresh?
I'll definitely try this one, it look so yummy
This frosting was amazing! I thought for sure my days of enjoying german chocolate cake were gone when I turned vegan. Me and this cake had spent 3 years apart, and the reunion was spectacular!
The only thing is, I found that this definitely wasnt a sufficient amount to cover a 2 layer cake! ??? I'll have to double the recipe next time!
This is superb. I used this as the topping for my chocolate cake(from this site), and my boyfriend's mom and sister fought over the crumbs.
:D this was sosososo good, glorious even, a def recommendation for all cakes, especially the super moist chocolate cake*!~ yumminess*!~
this is heavenly. 5 stars
Freakin good!
i just made this to go over this sites "berry chocolate cake" and its AMAZING!! the only thing i added was 1 tbs cornstarch to the soynilk to help the consistency. there's definitely a method to applying, you have to "tap" it on the sides, top ect. oh and in the pic i also did the center znd between the layers with cream cheese icing as my mom suggested!
8 oz tofutti better than cream chese
2 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbs soymilk
beat well
Rich and delicious! Tonight, I halved this recipe and used it on the Super Moist Chocolate Cake recipe from this site for a wonderful German chocolate cake. I used sweetened coconut, so I reduced the sugar a bit. This frosting is so tasty!!
