"Luscious, creamy frosting that doesn't taste too sweet. This frosting is delicious on any cake, but I especially like it on coconut cake, sprinkled generously with coconut between layers and on top of cake." — Dorothy Young

1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 (.25 ounce) package unflavored gelatin
3 eggs
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Maybe the frosting tastes good with coconuts on it, but not on its own. The consistency was more like a mushy, heavy custard than the light frosting I was looking for.
came out like pancake batter and did not have a very good flavor

This was very tasty. However, I used Cool Whip instead of heavy whipping cream. This made the recipe easier. I frosted a coconut pound cake rather than a layer cake. It received raved reviews at a covered dish party.
