Re:Coconut flour and cream

[Guest guest]

Hi Terry,

I am not baking yet but will just caution you with the coconut flour to

look for recipes designed for it as it doesn't sub correctly from nut

flour recipes.

The coconut cream I'm kind of ashamed to admit, I generally just eat with

a spoon. You can use it to make coconut milk if you want, be

easiest in the blender, I think. Also, the first time I got it I

thought it was weird with coconut oil on top and brick-hard coconut on

the bottom Then I read or saw a video on TT on dealing with it. It

separates in shipping. You need to get a deep enough pan to

put very warm water in and submerge the jar of coconut cream pretty well

up to the top of it (but not to the lid to get moisture inside).

Leave (and change water if necessary) until it's soft enough to mix the

coconut oil with the harder stuff below it. TT claims now

it's spoonable. Well, maybe where they live! It's still pretty hard

here but at least I can dig it, and don't need an ax to get it out.

Well it's been over 2 years on SCD and I finally bought my first

coconut flour and coconut cream from Tropical Traditions.

I have no clue what to do with it.

I know there have been recipes posted here and I know Elana has a

bunch, but does anyone have a favorite they'd like to share with me?

Thanks.

Terry,

You are welcome. I ate the whole first jar of coconut cream I got without

knowing I should heat and mix it back together!
