Get Cooking with our Creamed Coconut Recipes

We’re so excited about the new addition to our coconut products range – organic creamed coconut, which gives you all the goodness of this nutrient-packed fruit in its pure concentrated form. Creamed coconut is made using unsweetened, dehydrated coconut flesh, which is then ground into a thick creamy paste. It can be grated, chopped or melted down to make a huge variety of delicious, satisfying and healthy sweet or savoury coconut dishes.

Here’s a look at three easy creamed coconut recipes you can try, using the organic creamed coconut from our green online store.


Amaizin Creamed Coconut is free of preservatives and additives, and packed with beneficial fatty acids.
