Coconut Cream Concentrate Review & Giveaway – Ends 10/24 – US & Canada
We love Tropical Traditions here at Contest Corner. I’ve been reviewing their products since 2009, and really enjoy their high-quality selection. And today, I have another fabulous Tropical Traditions giveaway for you: One lucky Contest Corner reader will win a 32 oz jar of Coconut Cream Concentrate, so read on!
Tropical Traditions have a great selection of wonderful coconut-based products. A few days ago, I received a jar of their Coconut Cream Concentrate, which is whole coconut meat in concentrated form.
According to the website, this can be used for a multitude of different applications, from cooking and baking to creating drinks and even eating straight out of the jar. I’ve never used anything like this, so I was very curious to see what it would be like!
When I first received my jar, I tasted a tiny bit from the top of the jar, and it wasn’t all that appetizing. Then I had a look at the product page, and realized that this was because you have to prepare the coconut cream before you use it – well, that explains it! 
Here is a helpful instructional video that shows you how to prepare your jar:
Jai and I prepared the coconut cream this morning, and both tried some of the cream straight out of the jar – he thought it was really, really good, but I didn’t care for just eating it plain. I tried adding some of it to my coffee as a non-dairy creamer, as was suggested on the Tropical Traditions site; it lightens the coffee a little bit, but it was still pretty dark, so I added some half and half as well. The coconut cream formed a grainy film on the top, so I honestly couldn’t drink it. I’m not sure if this was due to the fact that I added a lot of of the coconut cream, the fact that I combined it with half and half, or both!
I’m really excited about using this the next time I make curry – you can mix the concentrate with water to create coconut milk, which a lot of my favorite curry recipes call for. The site does mention that it does have a “Grainy” texture due to the fibers, but I don’t think that will matter when it’s cooked into a dish. Jai has also been enjoying snacking on the coconut cream all by itself, so I think we will get a lot of good use out of this jar!
