- 2 tablespoons raw honey, warmed to pour easily
Instructions
- Place coconut and boiling water into blender and let it sit 5 - 10 minutes
- Blend the mixture on high for 1 -2 minutes, then let sit 10 minutes longer
- Give one last whiz in the blender
- Place cheesecloth over a medium bowl container.
- Pour coconut mix over the cheesecloth or strainer
- When liquid is no longer coming from the strainer use the back of a spoon to press out more liquid and then use hands to squeeze out the remainder.
- When all liquid is drained set aside excess coconut.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- A natural separation will have occurred which is the coconut cream that has settled at the top.
- Scoop off the cream and fold in the vanilla and honey
