Coconut Angel Cupcakes With Coconut Frosting

"These recipe is made on a food processor, make certain to process 1-1/2 cups sugar to a fine powder before starting this recipe. You can also add in food colouring to tint the frosting to pastel shades if desired. IMPORTANT: remember to refrigerate and chill the coconut milk overnight or for a couple of days to thicken to a consistency of solid fat, then shake the can before using in this recipe. This can be baked in mini muffin tins also (makes about 24) remember to reduce baking time."
