Filling for Coconut Cake

What can I use instead of icing sugar for my butter cream filling.

From the editor:

Hi Mandy,

If you don't like using icing sugar, you could try making an Italian or Swiss Meringue buttercream. These both use a hot sugar syrup (regular sugar and water boiled together), poured slowly over whipped egg whites and finished with butter.

I make a coconut pie filling and fill the cake with that. Everyone raves over it! I googled home made coconut pie and found a really nice one that way. I also substitute coconut milk for milk in Michelle's buttercream recipe. Everyone LOVES Michelle's buttercream, I always get complimented on how creamy and not too sweet it is.
