Coconut milk and coconut butter

It's been a while!
Today I decided to do more "from scrach" stuff.
There was this fabulous discount in shredded coconut at our supermarket, that was impossible to ignore.

So it was time to make my own coconut milk and of course also butter.

So, if you have a Bimby or Thermomix, or any food processor, these tasks are all quite simple.

Put 250g of shredded coconut in your Bimby and blitzed on vel. 7 for a couple of minutes until you have a paste.

Pour 2 cups of hot water, mix to blend everything and let it cool down.

I used a cheese cloth to separate the milk from the litlle coconut pieces. Drain very well and you're done with your coconut milk.

For the butter you just have to put 250g of shredded coconut in your Bimby and beat until a buttery consistency, in vel 6. And that's it! Really easy!

I didin't add sugar nor vanilla to my milk because I was not drinking it, but you can if you wish.

With all this milk and butter I decided to make lime and coconut ice cream and coconut bread.

Delicious!
