Coconut Sour Cream Recipe from Fat Fast Cookbook
Some of you are avoiding dairy. Fortunately, it is possible to make quite nice sour coconut cream
Ingredients
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon yogurt starter
Instructions
- Let a can of coconut milk sit in the fridge overnight, without disturbing it. Then open it, taking off the whole lid. You will find that the fatty part of the coconut milk—the coconut cream—has risen to the top. Scoop this off into a snap-top container. You can discard the watery part, or give it to the dog, water a plant, whatever.
- Let the coconut cream soften at room temperature. Now whisk in a teaspoon of yogurt starter—or, for that matter, of yogurt; you can buy coconut yogurt at health food stores if you have to be really, strictly dairy-free. I have also pulled apart a probiotic capsule and used the contents as a starter, with good results. Just get some nice acidophilus and/or bifidus bacteria in there. Whisk the whole thing up thoroughly.
- Put on the lid, and put your coconut cream in a warm place. A yogurt maker is ideal, if you have one. I line a mixing bowl with an old heating pad set on low, and settle the container down in it, then drape a tea towel across the top to hold in the heat. You could also put your container over a floor heat register, with a mixing bowl inverted over it to hold in the heat. Anyway, let your coconut cream incubate for 12 hours or so—I let mine sit overnight.
You may find your cultured coconut cream looks kind of gray and uninspiring when it’s done incubating. Refrigerate it for a day, and you will find it becomes much more appetizing. I used this coconut sour cream in many recipes while writing 500 Paleo Recipes, and it worked just like dairy sour cream, though of course it has a coconut flavor. It’s also slightly sweeter than dairy sour cream. Still, you can substitute it one-for one in any recipe in this book that calls for sour cream.
Unfortunately, I don’t have nutrition stats on this; I don’t know how to calculate for the watery part that’s discarded. I would count it the same as dairy sour cream, and call it near enough for government work.
The good news is that the fat in coconut cream is more ketogenic than the fat in dairy sour cream.
