Seven Minute Coconut Frosting		    

A sauce pan and medium sized bowl can be used for the double boiler. Just make sure that the water is well below the bottom of the bowl. If it is humid you might want to continue the 5 minute portion of the beating by another 15 to 30 seconds. Sometimes I do this anyway because it seems to help the frosting set up better. 12 oz of sugar is approximately 1 3/4 C.

12 oz - Sugar
1/2 t - Cream of Tartar
