Of course, we can always count on Isa Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero of the PPK and Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World for some fabulous pareve and vegan / egg-free recipes (posted in the Jewish Exponent)
Serves: 2 cups
Ingredients
- ¼ cup rice milk
- 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
- scant pinch of salt
- ¾ cup coconut milk
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp. bourbon, optional
- ½ cup pecans, coarsely chopped
- 1½ cups shredded unsweetened coconut
Instructions
- Whisk rice milk, cornstarch and salt in a small bowl.
- In a large, stainless-steel saucepan over medium heat, stir together the coconut milk and brown sugar.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture starts to boil. Turn down heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
- Whisk the rice-milk mixture once more, and slowly pour into the coconut-milk mixture, stirring constantly to incorporate.
- Stir mixture continuously, until it darkens, gets very thick and smooth, and cornstarch is cooked, about 6 to 7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and beat in vanilla and bourbon, chopped pecans and coconut.
- Stir until everything is coated and completely combined.
- Cool to room temperature before frosting cupcakes.

Help! I have the same book – Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World. Has anyone but me noticed that there’s no fudge in the recipe? Should this just be Coconut pecan frosting?
I think “fudge” is a descriptive term for the consistency, like vanilla fudge or pb fudge, which don’t actually contain chocolate.
