Vegan Coconut Frosting

• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 1/2 cup agave nectar
• 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 cup coconut oil, melted over very low heat

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the coconut milk and agave nectar to a boil over medium heat.
2. Whisk the ingredients together, then decrease the heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, to reduce just slightly, stirring frequently.
3. In a small bowl, dissolve the arrowroot powder in water, stirring to make a slurry.
4. Increase the heat under the saucepan to medium-high so the mixture is bubbling.
5. Add the arrowroot slurry to the coconut mixture, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens and turns opaque and shiny, about 1 minute.
6. Once the mixture becomes shiny, remove the pan from the heat and gradually blend in the coconut oil with a handheld mixer until well combined.
7. Allow to cool on the counter for 15 minutes.
8. The mixture will not look like frosting yetdont worry; this is okay.
9. Chill the frosting in the refrigerator for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until the frosting fully solidifies and looks opaque white in color.
10. Remove from the refrigerator and whip with a handheld mixer until thick and fluffy.
11. The frosting will be sticky looking and lumps will dissolve during whipping.
12. Use immediately or store in a glass Mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
13. Allow the frosting to soften a bit after removing from the refrigerator.
14. Stir with a flexible spatula until spreadable.
