Raw Chef Alissa Cohen's Coconut Cream Recipe

Don't be afraid to crack a coconut and get the meat out! Once you get the hang of it, you'll find cracking a few coconuts very therapeutic. We use the variety known as young Thai coconuts for their soft, almost gelatinous and creamy consistency. Start by selecting heavy coconuts. A light one indicates that there may be cracks and the coconut may be dried out or the coconut water has leaked out. One young Thai coconut yields 1/2 cup to 1 cup fresh coconut meat.  Serve with Raw Chef Alissa Cohen's Morning, Noon and Night Pancakes recipe.
