Directions
- 1
Combine the vegetable shortening, powdered sugar, coconut milk, and flavoring extract in a stand mixer bowl.
- 2
Beat on medium speed for 4 to 5 minutes until the mixture is smooth, fluffy, and holds its shape — at this stage it's ready to pipe borders or frost a layer cake.
- 3
To achieve the marble texture, gradually knead in granulated sugar by hand until the dough no longer sticks to your fingers.
- 4
Apply small portions of frosting to the cake using the back of a spoon or an offset spatula, pressing and smoothing gently to build the marble veining effect.
💡 Chef's Tip
For a two-tone marble finish, split the frosting in half and tint one portion with cocoa powder or food coloring. Apply both alternately and blend the edges lightly.
