Notes
With raisins the carb content per bun will be 2.5g.
You can make coconut milk using 50g creamed coconut + 200g hot water. Remove 50g of the resulting milk to obtain the correct quantity needed for this recipe.
As the icing is a tiny quantity, I recommend using a small piping bag, cut across in half.
Store at room temperature, uncovered, for up to 5 days.
