How to make coconut cream

Coconuts are a key ingredient in Samoan cooking. Every part of the coconut is used. You can eat the
flesh raw or use it for cooking, you can drink the juice, the shell makes a handy cup or, together with the
husks, you can fuel a cooking fire. The most widely used product from the coconut is coconut cream,
