Coconut Cream

Coconut cream is a thick, creamy product made from pressed ripe coconut flesh with a high fat content, usually around 20-25%. It is thicker and fattier than coconut milk and has an intense coconut flavour and aroma. In the kitchen, it is used in sauces, curries, soups, desserts, ice creams and as a substitute for regular cream in lactose-free or vegan cooking. When chilled, it can be whipped into a firm cream suitable for decorating desserts. It works well in Thai, Indian and Caribbean cuisine, as well as in smoothies or coffee.
