Fresh Coconut Cream
Coconut Cream can substitute for whipped cream in many recipes. Although
it's a fat, it's a raw one from a raw fruit, so it's actually good for you.
1 coconut
1 hammer (to break open the coconut)
1 awl (to poke a hole in the coconut in
order to drain the coconut water)
1 juicer
Make a small hole at the top of the coconut with the hammer and the awl.
Drain the coconut water out of the coconut by placing the coconut upside down
on top of a glass. The coconut water will drain out slowly, and it will look
somewhat cloudy. The coconut water should taste sweet. If it doesn't, it's bad,
and it means the rest of the coconut has gone bad too. In that case, you will
need a new coconut.
If the coconut is fresh, this water is delicious and nutritious, and should
be drunk immediately, or it loses freshness and nutrients.
Next, place the coconut in a bag. Using the hammer, break the coconut into
small pieces. Make sure to separate the white coconut meat from the hard brown
coconut shell.
Run the white coconut meat pieces through a juicer, using the "juice" plate
with the tiny holes. The juicer will separate the coconut into shredded coconut
and coconut cream.
Use the fresh cream immediately in recipes. Freeze remainder in an ice cube
tray to use later. Also, freeze the shredded coconut in a container for use
later.
