Coconuts are a key ingredient in Samoan cooking. Every part of the coconut
is used. You can eat the flesh raw or use it for cooking, you can drink the
juice, the shell makes a handy cup or, together with the husks, you can fuel a
cooking fire. The most widely used product from the coconut is coconut
cream, so let me describe how the cream is traditionally made.

To make coconut cream you will need:
Coconut
Knife
Coconut
husk
Bowl

 Method:

1. First, collect all your equipment and grab your coconut. Using the back of

your knife, hit the coconut and rotate. Repeat this action until the coconut
splits and the coconut water comes out.

2. Secondly, pour the coconut water into a bowl then leave it aside. With the
coconut, sit on the scraper and scrape the coconut flesh. You can scrape
the coconut flesh by holding whichever hand you mostly use on the top
and the other hand against the shell. Rotate the shell gently against the
scarper until the all the flesh has been removed. Repeat with the other half.

3. Next, grab your coconut husk and put some flesh in the husk. Add a bit of

the coconut water to the husk and flesh.

4. After that, wrap the coconut water and flesh with the husk and tightly

squeeze until the cream forms and seeps out.

5. With the leftover coconut water, flesh and coconut shells, you can drink the

coconut water. You can either eat the flesh, feed it to chickens or use it for
pig feed. The coconut shells can be used as firewood so you can burn it
and make a fire.

6. Take your freshly squeezed coconut cream and use it in your favourite

dishes

Now you know how to make coconut cream in a traditional way.
