How to make coconut cream

Coconuts are a key ingredient in Samoan cooking. Every part of the coconut is used. You can eat

the flesh raw or use it for cooking, you can drink the juice, the shell makes a handy cup or, together

with the husks, you can fuel a cooking fire. The most widely used product from the coconut is

coconut cream, so let me describe how the cream is traditionally made.

 

You will need

Coconut /popo

Knife

Scraper

Coconut husk

Bowle

1. First you have to get your ingredients together. then using the back of the knife hit one side of the

coconut. Turn the coconut after every little hit. then pull the shell apart.  The coconut will have some

water inside that you can drink but make sure you leave some for later.

2. Next get the coconut scraper and sit on it. If you are right handed you have to use your left hand to

hold and right hand to push forward. Use a bowl to collect the flesh.

3. Get the coconut husk. Put a little bit of coconut water and coconut flesh inside. Hold it with your

hand and squeeze tightly until the coconut cream comes out
