How To Make Coconut Cream

Coconuts are a key ingredient in Samoan cooking. Every part of the coconut is used. You can eat the flesh raw or use it for cooking, you can drink the juice, the shell makes a handy cup or, together with the husks, you can fuel a cooking fire. The most widely used product from the coconut is coconut cream, so let me describe how the cream is traditionally made.

You will need: coconut/popo,knife,scraper,coconut husk and bowl

How to make coconut cream

1} First collect what you need.

2} Then get the coconut and use the back of the knife to break it in half.

3} Take the halved coconut and a scraper. If you're left handed put your left hand on the bottom of the coconut put your right on the top of the coconut and turn it around. If you’re right handed you have to do the reverse
