- Tip: If lumps form, you can break them up with the help of a whisk.
- Without stopping stirring, add the sweetener. You can sweeten it to your liking, in our case, we have used a tablespoon not quite full.
- Tip: Do not use brown sugar because it will change the color of the cream and darken it.
- Continue stirring without letting the cream reach its boiling point. Add a small cup of shredded or ground coconut to give it a wonderful texture.
- Tip: You can find shredded coconut in supermarkets.
- Chop a few pieces of coconut and crush them, without breaking them too much. These little pieces will accompany each bite and will crown your coconut cream recipe.
- Reserve a few bits of coconut to decorate the plate if you like. Serve the rest at the end of the preparation with a teaspoon of coffee, depositing them carefully.
- Tip: If you want, you can change the chopped coconut for cocoa powder, it will also be delicious.
- Serve the homemade coconut cream in small glasses and let it cool in the refrigerator for about 3 hours. In this way, the cream will gain body and thickness. Take it out and enjoy!
