For a long time, Trader Joe’s only sold light Coconut milk, and not a full fat version. For a Paleo eater who loves fat, this was a bummer.

Imagine my surprise when I spotted this item on an endcap for new products:

Coconut Cream — $1.49 at Trader Joe’s

Ingredients: coconut extracted, sodium carboxy methyl cellulose, xanthan gum, water.

You’ll note it contains some less than natural ingredients, which is a bummer. I probably wouldn’t use it in high rotation, but it would be a yummy addition to occasional treats like ice cream, whipped cream, or even coconut cream pie.
