CONTENTS
Introduction Hello! Thank you for buying my
Coconut Dessertsrecipe book. I started writing this book because I LOVE coconut andcant get enough of it, but the more research I did, the more reasons I foundto love coconut even more! Coconut meat, butter, and oil improves calcium andmagnesium absorption in the body, reduces inflammation, improves digestion, killsbacteria, and supports your immune system. It is rich in fiber, vitamins, andminerals.
It is something very beneficial to include in your daily diet. I use as many organic, unsweetened forms of coconut as Ican pack into a recipe here. There is no thing as too much coconut! I hope you enjoy this book and these recipes. Happy Baking! Leslie
Coconutty Information
Many people ask what the difference is between coconut oil,coconut butter, and coconut cream. It can be quite confusing at times! Heresthe info:
Coconut Oil is indeed just the oil, made by firstdehydrating the coconut meat and then pressing the oil out of it. It is stableat high temperatures, does not need to be refrigerated, and can be used as asubstitute for any cooking oil.
It works very well as a butter or lardsubstitute, as well, though sometimes I will use half butter and half coconutoil, depending on the recipe. Coconut Butter is made from the whole meat of thecoconut, pureed into a creamy butter. Coconut meat by itself is 65% oil!Coconut butter is a delicious addition to any recipe or even as a spread. I addit to recipes to add even more coconut flavour. Coconut Cream is the dried meat of mature coconutsground into a fine powder. It has a high moisture content (up to 75%) and ahigh fiber content.
It is pretty much the same thing as coconut butter. Themain difference between coconut cream and creamed coconut is the moisturecontent. Creamed Coconut, also known as Coconut Concentrate,is the unsweetened dehydrated fresh meat of mature coconuts ground to a whitecreamy paste. It will harden under about 75 degrees F. It has a moisturecontent of about 3%. It is very versatile as you can simply add warm water tomake either coconut cream or coconut milk.
One part creamed coconut plus 2.5 parts water = coconutcream One part creamed coconut plus 5 parts water = coconut milk Coconut Milk consists of the whole meat of thecoconut, either fresh or boiled with water, and then strained to removeanything non-liquid. You can buy it in cartons, cans, or make your own at home.It has nothing to do with coconut water. Coconut Water is simply the liquid found inside acoconut when you open it. It is high in potassium and other minerals. Deliciousand hydrating alone or use it in smoothies or soups
