icon-extras
  • *It's essential for the can to contain, at least, 60% coconut extract. This is the fat percentage necessary to get a proper result. Coconut milk with this characteristics can be found in herbalists and asian food stores.

  • *Both the coconut milk and tools (bowl and whisks) must be very cold to beat the cream.

  • *To get a more solid result, you can add, together with the corn starch, cream of tartar. This can be found in herbolists and specialty shops.

  • *You can prepare the strawberry puree simply by blending the strawberries. For a better result, filter the puree.

  • *Xanthan gum is a thickener obtained from the fermenting of corn mash (or other grains), resulting in some kind of gelatine. It is used as an additive to add elasticity to doughs made with gluten free flours. It provides no flavour whatsoever, barely adds calories to the recipe and it may be used for both cold and hot processing. We can easily find this product in herbalists, specialty shops and some supermarkets.
