For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter. Toasting the coconut and walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. If you prefer a smoother frosting, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after cooking. The frosting can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature and whisk before using.
