Recipe for coconut cream??
I can't find good instructions on the web for making coconut cream. It sounds like you just put the coconut meat through a Green Star juicer and add lime and honey to preserve it. Is that right? Does anyone know? How much lime juice and honey are the right amount to add?

im not sure about preserving it (i always eat it right there) but yes you can put it through a juicer. i have a blendtec so i can just run it through and it will grind everything up together into a cream consistency. yum!

Thank you for the pointer to Cuckoo for Coconuts. I didn't know about it and will check around there.

Denise, it depends what the recipe is. Coconut butter is definitely different that just the meat - the butter is the oil extracted from the coconut meat. So in many recipes substituting meat for oil/butter will not get you the desired result :) Fine if it's just a smoothie or something, but often the butter is used as a fatty semi-solid base for recipes.

I put fresh coconut meat through the juicer, that's my recipe!
No need to preserve it, just put it in the fridge and it solidifies, you can re whip it by blending it. Just add whatever flavouring you like, but the less water the better as it doesn't mix with the cream.
Here's a pic of my coconut creme cups made with the above recipe:

And if you don't have a juicer, you can blend the coconut meat and squeeze it through a nut milk bag to get the cream.
There is a great recipe using coconut cream, a raw chocolate fudge cake, video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ9q-nym8Uw
And my variation on that recipe here: http://www.rawrob.com/2008/07/29/raw-chocolate-pie/

I have almost no idea what qualifies as soft rock, but if most of the music here is any indication, that's probably because I don't actually like soft rock. For the most part. Does Queen qualify as soft rock? I ha...

I think I'll save up a little more and get a blender/food processor combo. Is 750 watts good? I have one already I got from my Granddad and it's really old and 600 ...
I've been thinkin about it for awhile now! Just sounds expensive. How much food do you go through in a day of juicing?
Its 2pm and 40 degrees so all I've had is water and oranges
