Orange Coconut Frosting

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 c granulated sugar
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 c orange juice, fresh
  • 1 tb light corn syrup
  • 1 ts orange rind, grated
  • pinch salt
  • 1 c coconut, shredded/unsweetened

Instructions

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.
