    •  To get coconut cream fromthe coconuts, simply run the white coconut flesh through a juicer.

    •  Or pour water on the white coconut flesh, stir and let stand for a couple of minutes before squeezing by hand to extract the coconut cream and running it through a cheese cloth to remove any sediments.

    •  Canned coconut cream is also readily available in supermarkets.
