Creamed coconut is an essential ingredient in any creative kitchen. It imparts a luxurious, rich, creamy infusion of tropical delectableness to just about any dish.

I use it in sweets, savouries, desserts, main meals, sauces, breakfasts and soups and couldn’t imagine life without it!

I am talking CREAMED COCONUT here, which comes in a solid block form. It’s a little different to coconut cream (sounds similar and can be confusing!). Creamed coconut is actually the ground down flesh of a mature coconut, created into a pure, semi-solid white concentrated block of cream that melts on heating. It’s naturally sweet, available in good health food stores or online. Read about it here: All About Creamed Coconut
