Pink Coconut Frost!

Okay, for starters, when I saw the recipe (see post below) from Amanda for Pink Coconut Frost I thought it was for a frosting and considered just eating it straight from the bowl...well, if I would have turned the card over I would have realized that IT IS A DRINK!!! However, I thought the idea of it being a frosting would still kick ass so yesterday I rocked out in the kitchen to The Raveonettes while wearing my cool new apron and making up a batch of pink coconut frost and frosting!


PINK COCONUT FROST DRINK
1 six ounce can pink lemonade
1/2 cup (or more to taste) gin or vodka
3 tbsp cream of coconut
2 tbsp marachino cherry juice
16-20 ice cubes
marachino cherries for garnish

combine all in a blender til slushy, garnish with cherries.

PINK COCONUT FROSTING

I took the above recipe and just adapted it abit.
Only I didn't use or write down measurements so do
what you have to with this:
powdered pink lemonade mix
vanilla vodka
marachino cherry juice
shredded coconut
cream of coconut
pre-fab cream cheese icing

Mix the above in what ever measurements you please. If the icing seems too liquidy put in the freezer and it'll firm up.

*******************************************

The Pink coconut frost/ing were both very good! I have to say though I took liberties with the cream of coconut and added waaay more than 3 tbsp. for the drink. I am just freaky over coconut.

I don't have a blender but I do have an "Ice-o-Matic" ice crusher, I just thought I would share it with you all. Yes, it's a hideous shade of avocado green but it's got an awesome form and works really well!

Oooh, I love the ice crusher! I can't seem to resist an appliance or gadget that ends with 'o-matic'. My most recent purchase: the Corn-O-Matic which promises to be a 'food glamorizer and corer'. Can't wait to try it out :-)

Damn you, girl!...now i MUST make gin-infused frosting! Like my waistline can take anymore baking. Or my liver can take more gin! LOL!
I am glad you like the recipe (and the Raveonettes) It never occured to me to turn it into frosting. As always, you are just so clever!
And i totally love the ice crusher..It's super swanky!
