It is a rich and creamy frosting that is not overly sweet and the crunch from the pecans adds a nice texture. This frosting is perfect for any occasion from a simple weeknight dessert to a holiday gathering. I love that it uses simple ingredients and comes together quickly. The coconut adds a nice tropical flavor and pecans are a good source of healthy fats and fiber so you can feel a little better about eating it.
