Coconut Cream

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup boiling water
  • 7 ounces creamed coconut (Let’s Do …®)

Method

  1. In saucepan over medium high heat, bring water to a rolling boil.
  2. Add creamed coconut paste; stir to dissolve; boil 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Remove saucepan from heat; set aside to cool.

Use immediately, or pour coconut cream into glass storage container; refrigerate up to 3 days. Servings: 3/4 cup. Preheat: Boil. Prep Time: 1 minute. Cooking Time: 5 minutes.

Note

Most coconut milk preparations contain guar gum as a thickener. The creamed coconut called for (Let’s Do …®), is 100% coconut and therefore the only pure option on the market, other than cracking a fresh coconut.

Creamed coconut (Let’s Do …®) is sold boxed, in a vacuum-sealed plastic package. The fat will have separated from the meat, so be sure to squeeze all contents from the package.
