Makes 4 small servings
CREAM INGREDIENTS
1/4 c young Thai coconut water
1 c young Thai coconut meat
3 Tbsp. coconut nectar
1 Tbsp. coconut oil
1/4 c ice
Pinch salt
FRUIT LAYER:1 c raspberries
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Blend all ingredients but the ice until smooth. Add the ice and continue to blend.
- Freeze for up to an hour – this will help the cream to become thicker. Watch to make sure the cream does not freeze completely!
- After solidifying, scoop some raspberries into a glass, then add the cream to the middle, then add the remaining raspberries to the top.
NOTE: To make more than you will eat at one time, store the raspberries separate from the cream.

We just never get young Thai coconuts, ever! I see a lot of the raw desserts have coconut. What can I use in their place…… We are 2 hours from any type of whole food stores….. I make a trip about once a month……. how long will they keep if I do buy some?
Hey Denise!
You can use soaked cashews in their place in many recipes, although it does change the flavor some. That’s your best bet!
Hope that helps!
If you do get to a market, you will find the coconuts last for a week or two, depending on how fresh they were when you got them.
What do I do when I recipe calls for coconut oil or coconut meat, I can’t eat it, it makes me break out.
With this particular recipe, you could soak cashews overnight in the fridge and substitute those for the coconut. It won’t be a perfect replacement but it’ll work!
