The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian Make instant coconut milk using your blender! It's easy, as long as you have a blender and a nut milk bag.
Be sure to blend for a long time (2 minutes minimum) to ensure that the coconut is well broken down into tiny parts that will squeeze through your nut milk bag.
Once blended, you absolutely must strain the milk with a nut milk bag, otherwise you will be left with gritty fibrous coconut bits in your milk, which will ruin the texture. If you don't have a nut milk bag, try cheesecloth (although it will be much messier and difficult to do with cheesecloth).
This recipe will separate in the fridge and does not keep well, so best to use immediately.
Recipe Yield: You'll get 2 1/4 cups unstrained milk after blending. Once strained, you should have 1 3/4 cups of pure coconut milk, ready to use in your favorite recipe!
Caloric Info: This recipe was calculated based on unstrained milk.

Hi Shel!
I haven't ever bought truly dried coconut that I know of. I just looked at The Raw Food World (my main source for truly raw products), and I did a search for coconut but I didn't notice any dried coconut there.
I did find this: http://www.rawguru.com/store/raw-food/truly-raw-organic-coconut-flakes-1-lb.html
I tend to just buy bulk dry unsweetened, shredded coconut from my local health food store. I'd love to know if anyone else reading this has recommendations for us :)
Another thought is to purchase a young Thai coconut and dehydrate it yourself... that would be a sure thing - although labour intensive!! Especially to make a large quantity!!! I don't recommend this... Not practical??

This was easy and delish. Would you be so kind (or any members) as to recommend a raw dry coconut brand? Thanks so much. Warm Regards, Shel.

Raw coconut milk recipe
My new favorite favorite. When the cream hardens on the top I put into the blender and add a little warm water. When first making, I run the pulp through again with 1/2 the water. I use the "Whole Juice" setting on my BlendTec ... Thank you Laura Jane!

Raw coconut milk recipe
Thanks for your response, recommendations and research, Laura-Jane. You went above and beyond expectation. I greatly appreciate your expressed confidence in The Raw Food World. I considered utilizing them, in supplement to my local natural food store, after receipt of a thoughtful letter for recent purchases. Your comment served to convince me.
I agree with the impracticality of drying young coconut. Still, it is an excellent suggestion that reminded me of the option to blend fresh. *smacks forehead. The idea also preserves the original whimsy of the recipe for which I so adore: spontaneous deliciousness easily derived from a pantry staple.

I added coconut butter, a tablespoon, and it was fantastic.

Hi Mihaela,
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Nice addition with the coconut butter, I bet it made it even creamier and smoother :)
