I hv never seen coconut milk powder I usually use fresh coconut would love to know where I can get it at least it will safe me time n stress. can I use coconut flavour that is used in cake?. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Thanks Amara. Bless you. You can find Emma coconut powder at supermarkets or from sellers of baking items. You can also grate your coconuts, extract the milk and use. I haven't tried cooking rice with coconut flavour, and don't know how it will turn out. Use fresh coconuts, it will taste great.
