This frosting is creamy and has a great peanut butter flavor with a hint of sweetness from the brown sugar. The flaked coconut adds a texture and flavor as well.
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 package (3.25 ounce size) flaked coconut
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/3 cup light cream
The cake you wish to frost will need to be warm and either in, or on, a broiler-safe dish.
Preheat the oven broiler.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. When fully melted, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the coconut, brown sugar, peanut butter, and cream. Mix well.
Spread the topping over the still-warm cake. Place the cake 4-6 inches from the broiler and let cook for 1 minute or until the frosting starts to bubble.
Remove from the oven and let the peanut butter coconut frosting cool completely before serving.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
