Introduction

Hello! Thank you for buying my Coconut Desserts recipe book.
I started writing this book because I LOVE coconut and can’t get enough
of it, but the more research I did, the more reasons I found to love coconut
even more!
Coconut meat, butter, and oil improves calcium and magnesium absorption
in the body, reduces inflammation, improves digestion, kills bacteria, and
supports your immune system. It is rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It
is something very beneficial to include in your daily diet.
I use as many organic, unsweetened forms of coconut as I can 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! Here’s the info:

Coconut Oil is indeed just the oil, made by first dehydrating the coconut meat
and then pressing the oil out of it. It is stable at high temperatures, does not need
to be refrigerated, and can be used as a substitute for any cooking oil. It works
very well as a butter or lard substitute, as well, though sometimes I will use half
butter and half coconut oil, depending on the recipe.

Coconut Butter is made from the whole meat of the coconut, 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 add it to recipes to add even more
coconut flavour.

Coconut Cream is the dried meat of mature coconuts ground into a fine powder.
It has a high moisture content (up to 75%) and a high fiber content. It is pretty
much the same thing as coconut butter. The main difference between coconut
cream and creamed coconut is the moisture content.
Creamed Coconut, also known as Coconut Concentrate, is the unsweetened
dehydrated fresh meat of mature coconuts ground to a white creamy paste. It will
harden under about 75 degrees F. It has a moisture content of about 3%. It is
very versatile as you can simply add warm water to make either coconut cream
or coconut milk.
One part creamed coconut plus 2.5 parts water = coconut cream
One part creamed coconut plus 5 parts water = coconut milk
Coconut Milk consists of the whole meat of the coconut, either fresh or boiled
with water, and then strained to remove anything 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 a coconut when you open it. It
is high in potassium and other minerals. Delicious and hydrating alone or use it
in smoothies or soups
