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!

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/

Hmm... Embarrassing love song. I think I can do that. Maybe.
Oooh! Boston! Is Boston soft rock? I fucking love Boston.
I loaded up at the store, love the way it looked on the counter. Yum.
greeeen!!!!!!
I do like the Violent Femmes but I think that is too pessimistic. Nihilistic hard driving folk.

I have not used the stuff for years, it gives me heart palpitations.
but when I did use the stuff my 1st choice was liquid (especially the flavored ones they have like toffee)
2nd choice: white, which is more processed, but I can not even stomach ...
Soft rock is soft, not driving rock, but soft gushy love songs, romantic, smooth..stuff you are embarrassed to admit you like.
Stuff that makes you imagine you are swimming with sea horses, or hanging out on a rainbow with your love.
Did you just blend banana and vanilla? I made ice cream with banana and cacao nibs... it was really good.
Yum. I love raw spaghetti so much.
That looks really good. I should make more elaborate desserts, I tend to keep it simple.
This list is awesome!!!
Careless Whisper is one of my favorite songs period.
So is Drive by The Cars
Ooh, and More Than This by Roxy Music.
Thanks, Rawstrength. I'm on their website now. They have a lot of great stuff and great prices!
Umm about 5 pounds of fruits and vegetables I guess, I can't say what the exact amount is.
Only because Suvine asked me to.
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...
