FRESH UNSWEETENED COCONUT CREAM AND MILK
This is really a technique, more that a recipe. Found in Cracking the Coconut, an award-winning cookbook by Su-Mei Yu and owner of my favorite Thai restaurant in San Diego. Yield is a guess because it depends on the size coconut that you use. TIme is a guess because it probably takes longer the first time. Have fun!!! You'll never use the canned stuff again!

Steps:
- Remove flesh from shell of coconut (drink the water, its good for you!), then peel the dark skins off the chuncks of white meat.
- Cut the meat into 1 to 2 inch chunks and place them in a HEAVY DUTY food processor fitted with a steel blade.
- Grind for 30 to 60 seconds. Pause to scrape down th sides of the processor bowl; then pulse and blend until the meat turns to pulp.
- Add the cup of warm water and process for 30 seconds. Then transfer the pulp and liquid to a large mixing bowl with a pour spout.
- "Milk" the coconut by massaging and squeezing the meat at least 89 times (yes, not 88 and not 90!). According to Su-Mei, this is a Thai ritual believed to produce a rich and creamy coconut milk.
- HOW TO CRACK A COCONUT: Choose a good coconut, one that feels heavy for its size. Shake it and listen for sloshing. The "eyes" on top should be uniform dark brown. To crack, place a Phillips screwdriver in one of the three eyes and hit it with a hammer to punch a hole. Repeat on another eye. Drain off the liquid and drink. Put the coconut on center rack of 375F oven, bake for 20 minutes. Remove and let cool to room temperature Lay on a hard cement surface, strike a few good blows with a hammer until cracked. Break into four or five manageable pieces, and holding a piece with a dish towel, remove the meat from the shell with a flat head screwdriver. It should come off easily. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the hard dark rind.

Steps:
- For the milk:
- Place 2 ounces of the coconut into a small mixing bowl and pour over the boiling milk. Stir to combine. Cover tightly and allow to sit for 1 hour. Transfer the mixture to the carafe of a blender and process for 1 minute. Place a tea towel over a mixing bowl and carefully pour the mixture into it. Gather up the edges and squeeze until all of the liquid has been removed. Discard the coconut. You may use the milk immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- For the cream:
- Repeat the same procedure as above only using 4 ounces of freshly grated coconut.
FRESH COCONUT MILK
I found this version of fresh coconut milk and aside from having to get into the fresh coconuts I think it'd be lovely to try to make my own since I use it so often. Preparation time includes prepping the fresh coconut but not cooling time, and is estimated, as are servings

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Use a metal skewer or ice pick to pierce two of the soft spots at the top, where the "eyes" are. Drain the liquid and save for use in other recipes.
- Place the coconut on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool until it can be handled (about 5 minutes).
- If it is not already cracked open, place the coconut on a hard surface and tap with a hammer until the shell breaks.
- Remove the white flesh with a spoon or table knife. Peel off the thin, brown inner skin with a vegetable peeler.
- Grate the coconut pieces on the fine side of a manual grater or cut into coarse pieces and grind in a food processor.
- In a blender (or food processor fitted with the metal blade), process the coconut and hot water for about 2 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
- Strain the mixture through a coffee filter into a small bowl, pressing down hard on the solid grated coconut flesh to squeeze out all the liquid. For thinner milk, add a little more water.
- Use in any recipe calling for coconut milk.
- Note: Fresh coconut milk should be used immediately, it loses its flavor even if refrigerated.

- Whip It! Making whipped cream from coconut milk couldn’t be easier or more delicious, but since you’re relying on the thick layer of coconut cream at the top of the can of coconut milk, using coconut cream instead means that the whole thing is dense, thick, and whippable.
- Smoothies. Adding a little coconut cream into your next smoothie recipe is a really easy way to use up any leftovers you may have at home. It adds a mellow, slightly sweet flavor and a little fat which will thicken up your smoothies and compliment any summer berries or stone fruits.
- Curries. Many curry recipes call for coconut milk as it is. I find that if I have some remaining coconut cream in a can, I just fold that into the recipe as well to add a boost of flavor and a nice thickness.
- Soups. Adding your leftover can of coconut cream to any cream-based or pureed soup is an easy way to use up leftovers. I’ve even added mine to a chicken vegetable soup we make and it’s delicious.
- Whole-Grain Cooking. We cook a lot of whole grains in our house and when I’m working on a breakfast or dessert recipe, I love swapping in a little (or a lot of) coconut cream in addition to the cooking water for a rich, decadent creamy porridge.
- Milkshakes. A partial can of coconut cream just begs to be folded into a milkshake along with your favorite ice cream or yogurt, and seasonal mix in. I’ve come to love this Banana Nutella and Coconut Yogurt Shake, and am really looking forward to trying this Coconut Shake recipe.
