A little bit of this coconut syrup goes a long way. It is rich and sweet and will transport you to the islands in just one bite. I use the syrup for breakfast on banana macadamia nut pancakes and I also like to incorporate it into desserts.

This rich, gooey, caramel-like frosting is arguably the best part of a German chocolate cake. The chewiness of the shredded coconut paired with the crunch of the pecans and the sweetness of the evaporated milk makes for a frosting and filling that can be eaten by the spoonful.

Though chocolate and avocado seem like an unlikely match, they pair up nicely in this chocolate glaze that is the perfect finishing touch to chocolate avocado cupcakes. A hybrid between a buttercream frosting and a powdered sugar glaze, the avocado replaces the butter but you wouldn’t even know that there is avocado in it.

Made with powdered sugar, this whipped cream frosting seems to be more stable than the whipped cream that I normally make but it is still light and fluffy. Though it is plenty rich, it is lighter and less sweet than buttercream frosting, making it a perfect option for angel food cake and other light summer desserts.

Homemade whipped cream with a rich almond flavor is a subtle and easy way to change up your basic vanilla whipped cream.

I have always loved lemon curd for the intense sunburst hit of citrus that it brings to the table. I like this Cooking Light recipe because it calls for very little butter compared to other recipes so it is still light and refreshing while maintaining a spreadable consistency…all in all, the perfect balance between lemon curd and lemon filling.

I know what you’re thinking: spinach or beet juice in my buttercream frosting?! Yuck! But you will be amazed at how you don’t even taste them, especially with the small quantities being used. As far as I’m concerned, I would much rather have my family consume a little spinach, beet or other natural dye than a chemically-produced version.

This cream cheese frosting is easy to make and great for many desserts, including carrot cake, cinnamon rolls and banana bars. The addition of the cream cheese makes the frosting more substantial and less sweet than a standard powdered sugar glaze.

It is so easy to make whipped cream and the result is far superior to the store-bought tub and spray can alternatives. The silky texture and sweet, rich flavor complement pies, hot cocoa, strawberry shortcake, and more! I use the following recipe as a base for my homemade whipped cream but I add other flavors and garnishes to complement different desserts.

This powdered sugar glaze is a great drizzle for pound cakes, hot cross buns, cakes and kransekake, among other things. It is sweet, light and runnier than most traditional frostings.
