  Hi There! I haven't tried any other oils with this recipe, however butter should work as a substitute for coconut oil. If you're making it vegan, be sure to use a vegan butter. If you try it, let me know how it turns out!

  Coconut oil basically has no flavor so I would think any other oil not strongly flavored or butter would be fine. Just not margarine or similar as that contains too much water and I’ve not been successful with that as a substitution. I think Plant butter would also work here.

  Any fat that suits your taste works in this type of icing. Since it calls for coconut oil keep in mind it is thick in consistency so choosing something close to the same texture will yield the best results. Where a liquid (oil) will likely take a little less of it and the warm milk (or milk substitute.) I always add just a pinch of salt for balance.
