Vickys Homemade Coconut Milk and Coconut Flour, GF DF EF SF NF
You can buy 2kg of desiccated coconut from Amazon for around £6.
This makes around 400ml of thick coconut milk. If I bought that from the shop it would cost me around £2 for a tin that size or over £1 for a ready to drink litre carton of thinned drinkable coconut milk so you can definitely save a few bucks making your own.
2kg of desiccated coconut will make this recipe 16 times over. Thats 16 ready to drink litres for £6!
Coconut flour is VERY expensive here, also almost £3 for a pound where you can buy wheat flour twice that amount for pennies.
Double savings as a little coconut flour goes a long way! Keep it in the freezer and take it out as you need it. It won't last long in the cupboard without preservatives

- 1
Put the coconut and hot water into a blender and puree until thick and creamy. This will take several minutes
- 2
Strain through a fine sieve, squeezing out the coconut solids left in the sieve well. Tie them in a piece of muslin straining cloth and squeeze them again. You'll end up with something that resembles that Moon Sand that the kids play with!
- 3
Pour the milk into a clean lidded container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days
- 4
Shake before use as it will start to separate as it stands
- 5
Now for the pulp you have leftover!
- 6
Once you've squeezed every drop of milk from the pulp, spread it out over a baking sheet and let it air-dry for 24 hours
- 7
Once dried, fork it through and give it a pulse through your food processor. You've made coconut flour!
- 8
Store in a lidded container in the freezer and start looking up those coconut flour recipes!
