Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula Hand Cream 60g.

Product Information

Note* you can then use the coconut shell to make DIY coconut bowls. However, if you want to do this – it’s best to use the saw method and cut them open through the middle. You might also want to skip the step of making the holes, but in this case, you might lose the coconut water unless you open it over a bowl and then strain the liquid. Probably one of the more traditional uses is within curries. Coconut cream adds a creamy element to a curry (like this Creamy Vegan Thai Green Curry), without watering it down as coconut milk does. Next, add the coconut flesh to a high-speed blender/food processor and blitz to shred it. Add 4 cups of water and blend again to obtain coconut milk. Plus, regardless of which method you decide to use – when making this cream, you’ll get the delicious by-product of desiccated coconut that you can then dry out and use for a variety of recipes. The delectable cacao bean is at the centre of all we do. It’s the tropical thread that runs through our collection, from confectionery and drinks to beauty and gifts. Dry, sensitive hands will love the creamy texture of cacao butter. With its high antioxidant levels, this botanical hero helps repair and protect the skin from premature ageing.

Note: depending on how many coconuts you are blending, you might have to do this multiple times. Not all the coconut flesh will fit in the blender if you’re making a massive batch. Also, it will be harder for the machine to blend very big amounts at once.When making coconut cream, it’s worth noting that it has a short shelf life (just a few days) so is worth making in smaller batches. It’s hard to give you an exact amount of cream you’ll get out of each coconut, as this really depends on the size of the fruit and amount of meat inside. So once you have your fresh coconut cream, it’s time to use it – of course. So, here are a few options for you: One of my favourite ways to use this is to make it into coconut whipped cream. You can then use this as a dairy-free ‘frosting’/cream for cakes – like this Raspberry & Coconut Cake recipe. Plus, coconut milk is usually made using less coconut, combined with water. The cream, however, uses more coconut and requires the mix to separate (as you’ll see in the DIY below).

Likewise, it’s great to serve in place of dairy cream when served alongside pie or tart (like this Vegan Chocolate Cherry Tart), warm puddings and more. The same can be said for soups. For example, adding some into this Coconut Curry Pumpkin Soup, Creamy Butternut Squash and Carrot Soup or Thai Inspired Vegan Green Pea Soup This deliciously rich hand cream will leave your hands soft, supple, and smelling heavenly. Inspired by the beautiful island of Saint Lucia, where fragrant cacao pods grow amongst vibrant coconut palms, it will lift your senses and transport you to a land of sun and sea.

This recipe is gluten-free and great for those who are lactose intolerant or dairy-free as it can be used as a dairy replacement in so many recipes. Making it homemade also tastes so much better than canned (if I do say so myself) versions from grocery stores. You can keep the remaining shredded coconut and dry it either in low temperature in the oven or out in sunny well-aired corner/window sill. Note* for a creamier version, that uses dairy, you could swap out the water for semi-skimmed milk instead.
