Cooking Recipe Orange Coconut Frosting
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toast the coconut on a baking pan in
the middle of the oven, shaking the pan occasionally for 10 minutes.
Let the coconut cool. In the bowl of a mixer, combine the granulated
sugar, egg whites, orange juice, corn syrup, grated orange rind, and
salt. Set the bowl over a saucepan containing 3 inches of boiling
water, and whisk the mixture until it is hot and foamy. Return the
bowl to the mixer and beat the frosting at high speed for 7 minutes,
or until it is cool and holds stiff peaks. Makes about 3 cups. FOR
COCONUT ANGEL FOOD CAKE, or your favorite cake, cover the sides and
top with the orange frosting. Press the toasted coconut onto the
sides of the cake.
