Most icings are sickeningly sweet. Heres one thats not:
coconut oil block
water
cardamom

heat the block in just a little water, say water is 10-20% of the
block quantity. Heat very slowly and very gently, the coconut will
gradually melt into the water. Add a pinch of cardamom powder, mix it
up, adjust water content to determine how stiff the set icing is. This
is a true quality icing, not like the usual slab of sugar offering.

Frankly, it sounds disgusting. Also, I have never seen "coconut oil
block"
available in any store including baking supply stores.

REally it is....
Even if you use cocoa butter as coating it will still taste weird...

It sounds as delicious as a thick coating of Vaseline.

lol! Its a lovely moist coating. Readers will note youve not actually
tried it.

PS its not called 'coconut oil block', but thats what it is. I still
cant remember the usual name. Its coconut but not dry slivers, its a
solid block. The dry slivers are no use at all for this.
