Ingredients
1⁄2 c
flour
1 c
flaked coconut
3⁄4 c
brown sugar (firmly packed)
1⁄4 c
pecans (finely chopped)
1⁄4 c
toasted hazelnuts (finely chopped)
3 T
butter
2 c
heavy cream
2 t
Frangelico hazelnut liquor
Instructions
In large bowl, combine the the first five ingredients.
Cut in the butter with a fork or pastry blender.
Add the whipping cream and liqueur, slowly into the dry ingredients until incorporated.
With mixer, beat on high until fluffy and semi-firm, do not over beat, it will become too stiff and of like butter consistency if over beaten. It needs to be firm enough to keep it's shape while icing the cake.
