From where I came from in the pacific,we dont use anything to make the cream thicker,the thickness of the cream comes from how much pure coconut your using besides the excess of the water..the cream u can cook it again into pure coconut oil
Amazing video, very easy and simple to follow. Thank you.
Please keep making videos! This was very helpful!
omg so happy to have found this thanks for posting! So tired of canned coconut milk!
You're so welcome!
Thanks so much for the easy instructions
Thank you for this tutorial. Seems like a lot of steps & time, just need to see if thats worth just buying a coconut cream can instead.. I'll try it out though :)
Thank you 😊 I will try this
Omg thank you for this video!! It's amazing! Can you eventually whip the cream? I'm so going to make it!
MissSayuri92 I believe you can, although I didn’t try that. Let me know how yours turns out! 😊
gracias!
Wow!
Wow this is fantastic thank you so much blessings ☺️♥️
You are so welcome
Did you drain the flakes from the hot water? or you also used that water to blend them?
Was it cheaper than buying a can? how many cups of cream did you get using 8 cups of shredded coconut?
Can we make without sunflower letichthen
wow does this really work that well with just coconut flakes??
i thought that to get that amount of thick cream you would at least need a full coconut?
cause ive tried this with just shredded coconut and it didnt yeild much cream at all
wow ty ellie..im gonna can the cans..lol
Wow fantastic! What do you do with the leftover coconut from the millk bag?
You can save it in the fridge or freezer and use in homemade bars or muffins!
❤❤❤❤
Fabulous video. How long does the cream keep after you've scooped it away from the water? Can it be frozen for future use?
I personally never freeze coconut because it looses its nutrients so, I store this recipe in the fridge for 2 weeks then make a fresh batch
It looks like you strained out the soaking water, and then used fresh water to blend it?
Do you but your flakes in bulk? And where?
What else can I use to thicken the cream if I can't get sunflower lecithin?
Other recipes I have seen just use coconut and water but with a ratio of 4 oats coconut and one part water. Cook, blend, then strain.
ETA: you could also just blend in hot water instead of cooking it
What's a good substitute for the thickening agent?
I had the same question, was wondering about xantham powder?
Sea moss if alkaline. Or perhaps a little coconut flour?
Anyone try to put a milk kefir grain into this. If so what were the results?
Did you put it in the freezer or chiller to seperate the water and the cream?
You put it in the refrigerator.
This is such a great video and easy to follow but I don’t normally have Sunflower Lecithin (sp.?) in my pantry...is there anything else I can use as a thickener like vegan agar, cornstarch, Almond Flour or Xantham Gum? If so, how much?
Erica Racz you can certainly try it. I don’t know how it will turn out. Let me know how it works if you do. Most health food stores sell the Sunflower Lecithin and you can also find it on amazon.
Arrowroot starch
Is it possible to use soya lecithin?
ellie can you cheese cloth to drain all the water from the coconut
It may be possible to use cheese cloth but we developed our bag because the cheesecloth method for making nut milk is messy and frustrating.
Great tutorial but i wanna try with fresh coconut
Cool Beans great! Let me know how that turns out!! 🥥
Whats the difference
Joel Jose there’s a big difference I came for the same reason I’m trying to learn how from a whole fresh coconut
@@nonyabigness just do the same with grated coconut do you have coconut gareter at home?
She said 3days but one day in refrigerator is enough
Hello can I use a oster traditional Blender to do this? Or do I need the VITAMIX?
Any blender will work! You may need to separate it into smaller batches if it's too much volume for your blender. Give it at try and let us know how it turns out.
The Vitamix is great tool for the kitchen! From hot soup to hummis and it has a 7 year no questions asked warranty.
What can I use as an alternative thickening agent to Sunflower Lecithin?
Here are some options:
Soy Lecithin: Soy lecithin is a widely available alternative to sunflower lecithin. It has similar emulsifying properties and can be used in a 1:1 ratio as a substitute.
Xanthan Gum: Xanthan gum is a natural thickening and stabilizing agent that can be used as a substitute for sunflower lecithin. It is effective in small quantities, so start with a small amount and adjust as needed.
Remember that these alternatives may not provide an exact replica of the properties of sunflower lecithin, so you might need to experiment and adjust the quantities to get the desired results.
Thanks for the video! May I ask what would happen if you didn't add the lecithin and the vanilla? Would you still get a tasty and thick coconut cream?
The lecithin is key to helping the cream thicken but you could leave out the vanilla and any sweetener.
Nicki Møller it wouldn’t be coconut cream. It would be coconut oil. Which is also good
@@ElliesBestCo but can you leave out the lecithin and is there a substitute for it that you know of?
Can use coconut powder instead of coconut flakes ?
No. That's the after product they pull out when they yank out the fat. Good idea though!!
vegan cherry actually you can. After making coconut milk from u can take the pulp and boil it to make a low fat milk. When using the coconut meat in whole that is the full fat milk we’re making but the pulp and be used again just made differently
What brand of coconut flakes did you use? Thanks for the great video!
Julia Walsh I don’t remember but they were organic flakes from the health food store. 😉
Can agar agar be used to thicken
Use it in small quantities, as it can thicken quickly. It may not provide an exact replica of the properties of sunflower lecithin, so you might need to experiment a bit.
Hi! Can I use fresh coconut instead of flakes? What's the difference?
My question exactly
yes you can definitely use fresh coconut! When I was in Sri Lanka, I always asked them to replace cow's milk with coconut milk and they just made it on the spot from fresh coconuts (the brown hairy ones) :)
You basically just shave it, and mix with warm water. You can then strain it or not.
Why is there no recipe included please?
hey but cocoanut flakes from the store are not fresh. You can start with a cocoanut, open it and grind the cocoanut meat in a blendet, its easy!
😮
Is the leftover liquid usable?
Yes! It's coconut milk. I use it on my cereal.
Can I use this cream for Pina Coladas?
I will
Sure! Sounds like a great idea!
How would you do this with fresh coconut ?
Yes , absolutly
@@Mediterranean81 how do you do it ????
@@pamelamerfeld7997 Remove the brown part of coconut then chop it into big chunks , put in a blender with a cup of water and blend
Once all blended , Strain the mixture in a cheesecloth or colander
Then freeze the coconut milk(the liquid) for 1 to 4 hours
Enjoy !
@@Mediterranean81 thank you Mehdi 😃💕
@@pamelamerfeld7997 Ur welcome
When you said you don’t use canned coconut cream crazy me thought you were going to use fresh coconut! 🤔🤔
Me too
What's wrong with the flakes... it's her recipe.
I thought the same thing
Why not just use fresh coconut
How do I make this with a real coconut?
@مـزْنَــه العتيبي thank you so much dear sir!! Thanks a lot!
Why didn't you use coconut water instead of tap water?
I suppose you could try coconut water but you don't need it for this recipe. Coconut water is generally very sweet and it adds additional cost that isn't necessary. We always use filtered water, not tap for all our plant based milks.
For people who have extra time on their hands. Looks good though.
😁👌🖖✌👍😎
U don't like the can but using processed dried flakes
You can certainly use fresh coconut but I think it would be intimidating for most people. This method is very easy. :)
Asian's not impressed. We don't use dried coconut flakes to make coconut cream. We use fresh coconuts to make it. Dried coconut flakes don't live up to the expectation.
Would you mind making a video and showing how to make it with fresh coconut? I'd love to learn!
Grate the coconut and soak it in hot water then pressed it using a cheese cloth to the extract the coconut cream.
ok good for you.
Too time consuming.
Why did you use vanila extract from the botle instead of handmade..isn't that what you guys like to do?
Easy peasy is buying it in a can......
Ha! Yes, that's true but nothing beats homemade! ;)
Great but photo was misleading, you’re using store bought flakes & have a fresh coconut in photo? This isn’t homemade :-(
You can certainly do this with fresh coconut if you want!
