But! First lest look back at a little coconut cream history and good cholesterol facts.
A Little History On Coconut Cream
It’s hard to believe that so much comes from one single tree nut. Everything from milk, cream and even what is called the meat of the nut, as that beautiful shredded coconut we all love. It has all been to our advantage that we have discovered this amazing replacement for animal milks and creams.
Coconut milk and cream became traditionally used in Southeast Asia, South Asia, Oceania and East Africa. Were we can find plenty of amazing coconut based dishes, especially coconut based drinks. Being that the coconut was introduced during the colonial era to certain parts of the world. It is also used for cooking in Central America, Northern parts of South America, West Africa and the Caribbean. Thanks to this introduction we have some wonderful spiced up coconut recipes to pick from today.
A lot of these cultural culinary recipes use coconut cream. Coconut cream is a thick coconut milk with a maximum amount of at least 20% fat. According to Codex Standards for Aqueous coconut cream products should have 5.4% non-fat solids and 25.4 -37.3 total solids. Being that the fat content is higher then coconut milk it is made differently. It is simmered with four times more shredded coconut to one part water. This way it is minimally processed and free of food additives and harmful sweeteners and other highly refined oils.
Is Coconut Cream Bad For Cholesterol
There is much controversy on whether coconut cream is bad for cholesterol levels. Yes! It is high in cholesterol but it is a good cholesterol according to medicinenet.com and healthline.com. They both say that coconut products lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase our good cholesterol (HDL). Experts say that the saturated fatty acids quickly burn up by the body using it as energy. Thats why some people use it as a weight loss tool. I say this is a good alternative to dairy creams. Of course lets be mindful to eat everything in moderation.
How To Make Decadent Salted Creamy Coconut Sauce
If you are looking for an alternative to chocolate or caramel sauce, this is a yummy sauce that can be used in so many ways. Sometimes I’m not looking for anything thick over my dessert that takes over the taste of it. I want something light, identifiable but not over powering. Thats where this Decadent Salted Creamy Coconut Sauce comes in for me. Plus, I love that little extra salt flavor added to my sweet.
Honestly, all you need is a saucepan and add all the ingredients and simmer it on medium low for 7 minutes. This helps break down the salt and monk fruit sweetener to incorporate it into the sauce. The salt can even be eliminated all together if you don’t like that extra hit of salt to your palate. Although, sometimes I add extra salt. It all depends on what dessert I’m having because salt can go better with some dessert more then others. Like a salted chocolate or salted caramel sauce. It really all depends on your propagative.
When the sauce is done you can use it right away or store it in a airtight container in the refrigerator. After it has cooled you can reheat it either in a double boiler or in a sauce pan on low heat. The sauce has to be stirred continuously while heating.
What Does Decadent Salted Creamy Coconut Sauce Go On?
It is quit surprising that this Decadent Salted Creamy Coconut Sauce can go on so many desserts. I like it on just about anything chocolate or vanilla. My favorite is on top of a heated brownie, blondie, pie, Vegan Coconut Cornmeal Pancakes or hot cake. It’s kind of like a glaze topping but the salt really gives it a signature taste all to it’s own.
It’s perfect on your favorite berry, vanilla, caramel or chocolate ice creams. Of course great chocolates have coconut cream and oils in them so they are actually taste bud family.
It would be interesting to try it in coffee because I think it would go well. I will have to give it a try. Try it on these other recipes I have listed below.
I hope you like this salted coconut sauce as much as we do.
