One hundred percent irresistible Coconut Cupcakes with Coconut Frosting! These are some of my new favorite cupcakes! Sweet and refreshing, they’re so much better than a plain old vanilla cupcake. It’s the most pleasant surprise in a cupcake!

Easy Coconut Cupcakes

I love how they don’t have pieces of the chewy coconut in them because you grind the shredded coconut in a food processor before adding it.  These cupcakes are pure bliss. Everyone loved them! I’d make these cupcakes for a pool party, luau, or when I really need to pretend I’m on a tropical vacation. You can have the option to keep the coconut unblinded, add some red berries, or add pineapple to make them Pina Colada Cupcakes! It would be especially cute to stick a fun paper umbrella toothpick in each cupcake as a decoration.

Smooth Coconut Frosting

The frosting melts in your mouth.  The cupcake recipe is one I found in the Martha Stewart Cupcakes book, but I decided to add my frosting recipe.  They are perfect together!  I also like how the frosting recipe I used can be made in under 7 minutes, it takes maybe 3 minutes total. It will taste like fancy bakery frosting, but you can whip it up at home with no time at all. I hope you enjoy these dreamy cupcakes as much as I do!
