How can coconut cream concentrate (coconut butter) be substituted for coconut cream in a recipe ?

I’m learning all these terms too! In a dilemma since Thai kitchen’s canned coconut milk formula changed and there is no longer that thick hard cream at the top when cooled, I’m looking for a way to make it myself because all “coconut cream” products seem to be a processed mixture. I just asked a manufacturer and they said their coconut butter which is pure ground flesh is not what I’m looking for,so where does that cream come from!!!! Would this recipe be like the fibrouous butter? Or a creamy milk? I guess what I was using was something in between the good stuff that came to the top of the milk in the fridge

In reply to Shan. I’ve had some in the pantry for over a year and it is still good.

How long was the shelf life of the creamed coconut out of the fridge?

I read all the reviews, failures and successes. The recipe sounded good, so I thought that I would give it a try! Perhaps it was the dry coconut flakes that I used, it turned out gritty and was not smooth like peanut butter. I used my black & dekker processor which always grinds nuts to a smooth paste. It’s definitely a powerful blender and ran it for at least 20 minutes. The coconut became fine but never changed to creamy, eventually I added the oil as I gave up. Disappointed at the end results.

I have an omega 8000 series juicer that I used with the blank to make nut butters. I used the dried coconuts shavings from Tropical Traditions. Apparently they don’t have enough fat on their own to make a nut butter. I tried adding real butter (just a little) and still not enough. I had some roasted pecans that I ran through it with the coconut. That worked! Added a little salt and raw honey. It was great!!

In reply to Deborah Langton. It will be a more crumbly texture than actual butter. It should resemble the texture of a natural peanut or almond butter...

I want so badly for this to work. Its currently sitting in my vitamix all warm and steamy, but crumbly, like wet sand. I pushed it down with the plunger thing, and to no avail. It just wont turn into butter. Please help. I dont want to waiste it.

This is not coconut cream, it is coconut butter

Can I use coconut butter for this? I normally use Vita Labs pure organic virgin coconut butter- can I use it instead of the cream concentrate? I am a bit confused as to the difference between the cream and the butter. I did go to the website and asked a representative what was the difference and she said that wasn’t it. I just thought I’d ask since I have not tried it as yet and don’t want to waste a cup of the butter.., it’s pretty expensive.

What would be better in coffee, coconut cream or milk?

In reply to Gina. I had my first coconut oil experience today and am so excited! After reading about the benefits of coconut oil, I decided to make some. I live in Mozambique and perhaps a trip to South Africa could yield coconut oil already made, but we have coconuts everywhere here. I read about how to make it on the internet. I used the white part of 4 coconuts plus the water of them. Cleaned, blended, strained and put in the frig to separate. I only got basically two layers instead of three. Most of it became very solid, like butter; a little bit of which was like cream and a very little bit of water at the bottom. This yielded 8 cups of coconut flour (gluten-free!) plus 2 cups of liquid. Excited to try this again!

Hi! I just want to say thanks.
I was looking for coconut butter to buy, but when i digged further into the subject… Wow a hole new world… so many possibilities, you can eat it, add it too food, creams, sun protection, oil pulling, and probably others.. but the down side, if you want good organic quality it can get very expensive, i live in Bulgaria, Europe, and a 400g jar from Nature’s way is about $22, I don’t know for US, but here that is ridiculous… so yesterday after reading some of your articles i decided to get down to action.. I bought 2 coconuts, shredded and dried the pulp, and after I passed 1st through a coffee grinder, cup by cup, and in the end I obtained the real butter with a hand blender, and i can not believe it 🙂 I succsed, my kitchen is a mess, lots of dishes to wash, but I am very happy.
Thank you again, you and coconut mama are an inspiration. I wish you all the best!

In reply to Dainty Lia. I had originally started making coconut butter in my Breville Sous-Chef FP, but took 10 minutes and was still a little bit grainy. That was the original recipe I followed from Pinterest. I started using my Vitamix and it only took a fraction of the time and came out much creamier. It's important to make a large enough quantity to get it blending. In the wide bottom 64oz container I fill to somewhere between the 24-32 oz mark. Use tamper until it gets very soft and let process till creamy.

I just made this with the leftover coconut from the clusters. I like it. I used vanilla and added just a tad of almond butter. It’s very energizing. Wow. I plan on eating a spoonful of this in the morning while (running around and) getting ready for work. I’m already using coconut oil in my coffee and this will wake me up for sure when I don’t have clusters in hand. 🙂

For the first step, do you mean to really pulse it with short steps for about a minute or just let it blend continuously for a minute. Thanks.

Can I use dessicated coconut? Or fresh coconut meat?
