Featured Product

Coconut Cream Concentrate is whole coconut meat in concentrated form. It is sometimes referred to as “coconut butter.” It contains no additives* (not even water). The dried coconut meat is ground very finely, giving it a creamy consistency due to its high-fat content, much like other nut butters. Since it is 70% fat, it is a rich source of pure coconut oil. Note: this is a food, not a cooking oil.

Strawberry Coconut Pops

Servings: 6
Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

• approximately 3/4 pound of organic strawberries
• 4 ounces cacao butter
• 1 cup coconut milk*
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• mini chocolate chips, optional

Directions:

Melt the cacao butter on the stove. It should come to about 1/2 cup when melted. Pour the melted cacao butter into your blender. Add in the coconut milk and vanilla extract.

Remove the stems from your strawberries. Add strawberries to the blender and mix. Make the mixture smooth or leave some strawberry chunks. Optional, stir in (by hand) some mini chocolate chips.
