Kara® Natural Coconut Cream - 200 ml (6.8 fl. oz)

This rich tasting cream is made from fresh coconut extract and has approximately 25% fat (coconut oil). It is aseptically packed with no preservatives but does contain natural stabilizers to prevent separation. Each pack contains 200 ml or 6.8 fl. oz. Whips like cream for a delicious and healthy topping. A great topping for fruit, cereal, or for making the ever popular Piña Colada. If you ever use this cream for Piña Coladas you will never go back to those overly sweet, artificial tasting mixes. Leave out the rum for a delicious coconut-pineapple smoothie. This product is aseptically packaged so that it is shelf stable without refrigeration. What is aseptic packaging?

This coconut cream can be diluted with water (add approximately 3 oz.) to make an 18% fat coconut milk which will have a richer and fresher taste than the typical canned coconut milk. You can think of it as "condensed" coconut milk.

 Coconut Cream Recipes

Piña Colada

1. Add ice to blender until it reaches the 3 cup mark on the blender container.

2. Add chilled, unsweetened pineapple juice until it reaches the 3 cup mark (about 12 ounces).

3. Add 1 box (6.8 fl. oz.) Kara coconut cream.

4. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar.

5. Add 3/4 cup rum. (may be omitted for non-alcoholic version)

6. Blend until smooth.

7. Enjoy.

This Piña Colada is so much better than any of the commercial mixes that once you drink this you will never want to go back. A friend of ours used to enjoy an occasional piña colada when eating out during the summer. Now that he has enjoyed this version he no longer can drink the artificial tasting, overly sweet restaurant drink. You can omit the alcohol to turn it into a refreshing pineapple-coconut smoothie.

Ambrosia

1 1/3 Cups Dried Coconut Supreme™
1 package (200 ml) premium Kara coconut cream
1 20 oz. can of pineapple tidbits (in their own juice) (drain well)
1 15 oz can mandarin orange slices (in light syrup) (drain well)
2 cups miniature marshmallows
16 oz. sour cream (I like Daisy or Breakstone brands)

Re-hydrate the Dried Coconut Supreme™ using the package of coconut cream. Just mix the two together and let stand until the cream is absorbed (a couple of hours should be sufficient but it can stand over night without any problem). Combine the re-hydrated coconut with the sour cream; stir in the drained pineapple and miniature marshmallows and finally fold in the mandarin oranges. I add the oranges last so that they don't get broken apart by the mixing. Refrigerate the mixture for at least an hour before serving. You can add more or less pineapple and mandarin oranges according to your own taste. The above recipe will just fit into one of our 1/2 gallon PET jugs after you have used the oil.

Note: The recipe above is one which most people are familiar with in one form or another. Ambrosia can be a delicious, almost dessert-like side dish any time of year, but many versions of this dish are too sweet, even if being used as a dessert. This recipe lets the flavor of the coconut, pineapple and mandarin oranges come through and makes it a good side dish to offset heavier foods or for hot weather when it is particularly refreshing.
