Coconut cream
Coconut cream is a rich and creamy ingredient that comes from the flesh of mature coconuts. It is entirely plant-based and is derived from the white, thick part of the coconut fruit. The cream has a tropical and slightly sweet flavour, making it a popular choice in various cuisines and recipes.
To make coconut cream, the flesh of mature coconuts is grated and soaked in hot water. The mixture is then strained to separate the liquid, which is coconut milk, from the thicker, more concentrated coconut cream. This cream is often used in both sweet and savoury dishes to add richness and a distinct coconut flavour to the food.
You'll find coconut cream listed on food labels due to its versatility in adding flavour and creaminess to dishes. It's commonly used in curries, soups, desserts like coconut rice pudding, and even beverages like piña coladas. Coconut cream can also be a dairy-free alternative for those who are lactose intolerant or following a vegan diet, providing a creamy texture to a wide range of dishes.
