Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup qualifying organic additive-free coconut cream
  • 4 tablespoons qualifying butter
  • 3 tablespoons raw honey
  • 2 egg yolks beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon homemade GAPS vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup properly prepared fully dried pecans chopped
  • 1/2 cup additive-free unsweetened flaked coconut

Equipment

  • Le Creuset Signature 9-inch skillet Artichaut, or another shallow nonreactive pan
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Balloon whisk
  • Dry and liquid measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Silicone spatula
  • Shallow covered storage bowl

Method
 

  1. Add the coconut cream, butter, and honey to a shallow skillet over medium heat. When the butter and coconut cream are melted, whisk until glossy and uniform.
  2. Whisk in the beaten egg yolks and homemade vanilla. Bring to a boil and whisk constantly for 5 to 7 minutes, until darker, thicker, caramel-scented, and briefly marked by the whisk.

  3. Remove from the heat and leave the base completely undisturbed for 10 minutes. Do not whisk, scrape, or taste it during this rest.
  4. Refrigerate the pan until the mixture is completely cold, firm, and no longer flows when gently tilted.
  5. Fold in the chopped prepared pecans and flaked coconut until evenly distributed. The stiff frosting should hold a deep spatula furrow.

  6. Let the frosting soften toward room temperature, then spread over 6 completely cooled cupcakes or one cooled single-layer cake.

Notes

Later Full GAPS: Use after butter, honey, egg yolks, coconut and properly prepared pecans are individually tolerated.
Coconut cream: Do not harvest cream from canned coconut milk. Use a qualifying organic product with no gums, starch, sugar or other non-GAPS additives.
Chilling: The total time shown excludes the source-unspecified time needed to chill the base completely.
Storage: The source establishes no tested storage window; prepare close to serving and keep covered and refrigerated until softening for use.
