- Today on Booze On The Rocks, we make a homemade Cream of Coconut. Coco Lopez creme of coconut is the choice for many bars and home cocktail enthusiasts worldwide, but it can be hard to source outside the US. This DIY recipe avoids all the emulsifiers and stabilizers for a tastier, fresher, more natural coconut cream. Try it out, and let me know what you think.

Great stuff. I actually made this about 30 mins before checking out your vid! My tiki party is at the end of this month, and I know I will be asked to make Pina Colada's. I find syrup vids like this very useful. I am in England, and have no chance of picking up the brand you mentioned. My local Co-op has one that I have used before - also 400ml. Does the job nicely. Cheers David.
Your welcome. Great minds think alike.
Great video David !!! To keep it longer freeze it, I do. So have the batch made keep half for immediate use (2 weeks) and freeze the other half until you fancy more. No heat no problem, I make it with 1 can of full fat coconut milk and 1 can of sweeten condensed milk. Sinfully silky good and only need to blend it no heat.
Fortunately, Coco Lopez is the same price as can of coconut milk here. Lol. So I rarely make it but this is a great recipe. Cheers pal!
Your welcome. If you ever need the recipe though
Yeah I’m trying to avoid all the preservative crap that you get from store products so this is good to know
I do try to make as much as I can, so this is incredibly helpful. Thanks!
also do an amazing job
Your welcome. It's much better to make your own when possible.
Thanks Dave! It's great to learn how to make essential cocktail ingredients! Cheers! 🙂
My pleasure Christine. I'm glad I could help.
I always make my own!
Awesome
Awesome!!!!
Good one David! I always enjoy learning how to make ingredients myself. Cheers!
Your welcome Sean. I'm glad it helped.
Noice DIY. I always heard adding vodka helps, but never knew how much. looking forward to see what cocktail you make out of this one. cheers.
Your welcome. The vodka does help and you can change it slightly if your adjusting the flavor too.
Simple, easy, and delicious!
Thank you
Have done this before - the need for the salt cannot be underestimated. The amount of it, however, can - get it in there, but don't go crazy. You can always add more, but it's real bear to take the stuff out.
That is so true. A pinch goes a long way
"cream of coconut" he says... Nice DIY cheers!
You got it. :)
Great video buddy always nice to see how we can make our own rather then spending a fortune on store bought.
Anytime we can save some money.
@@boozeontherocks agreed it's such a squeeze right now
Thanks for the educational video!!! I have never seen it in Australia either.
Your welcome. I hope it helps.
I've experienced that this lasts way longer than a month in the fridge! say 3-4months instead! suger does help alot with that :D
That is true it does. This just seperates a bit over time.
Thanks for share the recipe
Your welcome!!
I was wondering if this would work better with palm sugar
That is a good question. You can definitely use palm sugar as it lower on the glycemic index. It will work just as well. Try it an let me know what you think.
Why don’t you use sugar syrup, no heating and dissolving?
That is agreat question. The reason I do not use a sugar syrup is that the end product would be thinner beacuse of the added dilution of the coconut milk.
Ah ha. That's why you are making vids and I am just watching them, got it, thanks! @@boozeontherocks
@@MrPoontanger No Worries. If you have any other questions let me know.
@@boozeontherocks thanks, last time I needed help, I rang the alcoholics help line, and asked them how do I make a mojito
Thank you David for showing us how to make it ourselfs! Love that a lot, bc Cream of Coconut is not always available here in Vienna and i have to order it online if i need it! ☺🤍🥥🤎
Your welcome Alexandra. It's so easy to make.
