can you make coconut oil out of coconut milk? can you make a video for that please?!?

[healthyvegan]

@cherio212 nope... coconut oil is a totally different thing

[cherio212]

can you use coconut milk instead of coconut oil?

[healthyvegan]

@cherio212 coconut milk won't solidify, so you'll wind up with more of a ganache, or gooey chocolate icing/sauce, than a bar.

Is there any way to give it more of a "Milk Chocolate-y" flavor? you know like by adding Soy Milk or Almond Milk... or even Soy Cream. I think pure cocoa would be too strong for my taste.. just wondering! thanx for the recipe!

[healthyvegan]

@blindfollower any liquid will make a very different texture - you'd have to freeze it to get it to make a bar. If you want to temper the cocoa, I'd use cocoa butter. I hope you have fun with it :)

Can I get away with using unsalted butter with this recipe for now since I do not have coconut oil? I cannot help but to see my block of unsalted butter as hard as a rock sitting there in the fridge all the time. Surely I think the taste will be different but hey you discover by doing.

@healthyvegan Remove from the heat, and allow to cool. While it is still a bit warm, pour the mixture through a strainer to remove the browned coconut bits. (We enjoy these browned bits in salad, as a bacon bits substitute.) The resulting clear liquid is pure coconut oil! Your kitchen will have a heavenly coconut aroma. Enjoy!!

@healthyvegan Place the frozen disk of coconut cream into a cast iron pan and heat slowly on the stove's lowest setting. It will first melt, then begin to sputter. After at least 30 minutes of this low heat, you will see a clear oil seperate from little coconut bits. Allow the oil to continue to heat and seperate until the coconut bits turn brown. ...cont....

@healthyvegan Place the bowl with the liquid in the freezer for several hours, or overnight. In the morning you will find that the coconut cream has risen to the top. Since it's frozen it will be fairly easy to seperate the cream from the milk with a little banging of the bowl against the kitchen counter. ...cont....

@healthyvegan Anyway, she taught me to soak freshly shredded coconut meat in hot water for about an hour. I then line a spaghetti strainer with a clean dish cloth (cheese cloth would be awesome for this, but I havent found any here), and and place this over a large bowl. Then I empty the hot water mixture into the strainer. After all the liquid has drained into the bowl, I squeeze out any more liquid that I can from the coconut meat. The resulting liquid is coconut milk.

@healthyvegan Actually, you can, at least with what they call coconut milk in the Philippines. :) I've lived here in the Philippines for some time now, and an older lady in my church showed me how. She taught me to make my own coconut milk too; perhaps it's different that what is called coconut milk in the States ...cont....
