Make-Ahead Tip
The flour/milk mixture can be made
up to 2 days ahead; just make sure
to follow directions on covering
and chilling.
Instructions
Whisk milk and flour together in
a saucepan. Cook over medium
heat until thick and smooth,
about 5 minutes, whisking often.
Boil1 minute to eliminate the
starchy taste of the flour, whisking
constantly. Transfer to a bowl and
cover with plastic wrap, pressing
it on the surface to prevent a
skin from forming; chill until cold.
Cream sugar and butter in a bowl
with a mixer on high speed until
light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Add coconut flavoring and chilled
milk mixture, beating to the
consistency of whipped cream,
about 5 minutes.
