Creamed coconut is the newest dairy-free substitute for butter in town. Made by drying and creaming the unsweetened fresh kernel of the mature coconut, creamed coconut is available in supermarkets in white blocks that remain solid at room temperature. It is usually chopped, grated or melted before use in cooking. Creamed coconut is a high energy food and is rich in potassium, protein and fibre. It can be used as an ingredient in curries, soups, salads, sauces, desserts, confectionary items, as well as in ice cream. A great alternative to dairy-based creams, yoghurt and curd for vegans and health food enthusiasts, it can thicken the consistency of gravies, sauces, desserts and other dishes, while adding a rich nutty taste to the food. Possessing a long shelf-life, coconut cream is easy to store and use, making it a healthy and versatile ingredient for daily use.
