Since it is such an important ingredient in many of my recipes and to save any confusion, here is the coconut that I use when I am catering in the USA and Canada. And this is the one I tend to buy when I am in the UK. This (or similar versions) are easily available in good health food shops or supermarkets.

If you are not cooking for children and like spicy meals, use hot curry instead and cook the sauce with a small chilli to add more heat to it.The same advice applies for tomatoes.

This coconut frosting is 100% vegan, meaning it is dairy-free and egg-free. It is also naturally gluten-free, soy-free, and nut-free (coconut is not generally lumped in with classic nuts such as peanuts, cashews, almonds, etc.). Traditionally, you make coconut milk by grating or shredding mature coconut meat and then squeezing it through a cheesecloth. In a factory, however, the coconut flesh is blanched in hot water, making it easier to shred. The coconut is then shredded. More water is added to the coconut before being squeezed out with a press to create what we know as coconut milk. Solid at room temperature, you can buy coconut oil in two forms: the raw, virgin kind that has a rich coconut flavour, or a refined version that isn’t raw but also doesn’t have any coconut flavour to speak of. Use for roasting and baking, in place of other cooking oils. Great in raw treats and puddings too, helping ingredients to set and bind. Making your own dairy-free coconut frosting is so simple, even a child can do it. In fact, all the pictures below are of my daughter making this frosting while I worked the camera. So if she can do it (with her mother hovered over her of course), you can too!Once you have all the powdered sugar mixed in, slowly drizzle in your filtered water until you reach the desired consistency.

At room temperature the milk will be smooth and emulsified, but if you chill a can of coconut milk it will separate into cream (at the top) and coconut water (at the bottom). Use for savoury cooking, such as Asian curries and sauces. It has a velvety, creamy texture. Oh my goodness – delectably delicious.

Extra coconut frosting tips: To prepare: Due to the high fat content of the milk it can become quite grainy, so before use process in a blender or beat well for a few seconds. Creamed coconut is ideal to use when you need a coconut flavour but you don’t want additional liquid, as coconut cream or milk would add to your recipe. You can roughly chop it or grate it into whatever you are cooking, for example a curry or custard.
