Equipment

measuring cup like Pyrex style with pour spout, or small mixing bowl

Ingredients

1/3 cup coconut butter, (warm or warm-room temperature) homemade or store bought here (is better in this recipe for how smooth it is)
3 Tablespoons coconut milk, (warm or warm-room temperature)
1 Tablespoons coconut oil melted
1 to 3 Tablespoons maple syrup, not too cold, or room temp., or use honey for GAPS
1 drop pure essential oil of choice: Lemon, Lavender and Orange are all delicious and popular choices, depending on your baked good.

Instructions

In a small bowl or pyrex measuring cup with pour spout, mix all ingredients: runny coconut butter, coconut milk, coconut oil and maple syrup, plus essential oil, until thoroughly combined, using a small whisk or fork. (Make sure the ingredients are slightly warm or very room temperature; otherwise, the coconut butter will harden.)
Your icing is ready. Pipe or slowly pour it on in a pretty drizzle!
