Instructions

Combine the powdered sugar, milk, coconut oil, and vanilla in a large bowl and whisk until uniform. If the frosting is looking too thin, add a little more powdered sugar. Divide the icing among 4 bowls.

Tint the icings with food coloring until the desired colors are achieved. You'll need only a few drops, as gel coloring is strong.

One color at a time, recombine the icings back into the first bowl, or into a pie pan. Une a spatula to swirl the colors together just once. Do not over mix or you will get a muddy color.

Dip the doughnuts into the swirled icing, twisting slightly to evenly coat the tops. Remove from the icing and place on the wire rack set above the cookie sheet to rest. Sprinkle with edible glitter, if using, and let sit until the icing hardens before enjoying.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Warm Your Icing Base 🔥
Gently warm the coconut oil and milk together before mixing with powdered sugar to create a silky, pourable glaze that coats evenly without clumping.
Food Coloring Concentration Control 🎨
Use gel food coloring instead of liquid to avoid over-thinning your icing—a few drops of gel delivers vibrant purple, blue, and pink tones without affecting consistency.
Layer Your Glitter Strategically ✨
Apply edible glitter immediately after dipping while the icing is still wet, allowing it to adhere perfectly and create that shimmering galaxy effect.
Coconut Oil Stability Matters 🥥
Use refined coconut oil (not virgin) to prevent coconut flavor from overpowering the vanilla, and ensure it's at room temperature for smooth blending.
Double-Dip for Opaque Coverage 🍩
Dip donuts twice in your colored icing, waiting 2-3 minutes between coats, to achieve rich, fully opaque galaxy colors instead of translucent patchy coverage.
