Coconut Oil No Good?

I LOVE chicken curry made with coconut oil and coconut milk. Yummmmm!
Coconut ice cream. :drool:
 

Thanks Olivia. Our bulk food store might carry it but if not I’ll try it.
Not days it makes 25 servings. That’s a LOT. I’d love to make some coconut cream pies.
One reviewer says she adds coconut cream or coconut milk to it instead of water for a richer flavour.
I don’t think I’ve ever had coconut pudding but I’m going to.
 
Olivia, I'm pretty sure I had the squares when we visited Hawaii. If they taste like coconut I know I liked them!

I use extra virgin coconut oil for certain recipes. I like the good coconut taste of that.
I use extra virgin olive oil for salad dressing or any raw use. I use it in some baking.
I like light olive oil for higher temp sauteing.
I try to use organic versions of these when possible.
I seldom use bacon fat but don't rule it out.
I use real butter here and there. I try to use grass fed.

It's all fat and it's all yummy. I use it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

I like your comments here, I'm about the same. Only I don't bake anymore.

I would like the CO to taste more like coconut thou as most do not I find...some more than others depending on how $$ wants to spend. Trader Joe's to me is bland but I buy it for the price sometimes. Whole Foods brand is pretty good. Nutivia is a high quality and higher price. j

Yes jammin, only the extra virgin has that coconut taste but unfortunately it's more expensive. That's why I just use it for certain things.
I make black bean brownies. I know, but they are good! Very chocolatey and the coconut oil gives it good flavor.
 
I used to get the Nutivia but now I get Costco’s name brand , Kirkland’s organic virgin coconut oil and it’s NOT expensive. In fact it’s a really good price for a huge 2.3 kg ; 2.48 L and it’s really good oil. 8B0A3215-27D4-4C8B-AB91-968204354702.jpg

Keesha--those must be tiny servings. I looked on that company website and that package makes an 8" x 8" pan. https://www.hawaiisbesthawaiianhaupia.com/products/haupia-coconut-pudding-luau-squares

I'll have to try their brand but I will ask my neighbor to buy for me. I don't shop there and I remember when I was in rehab for my knee infection issue, the workers from the Philippines used CO from Costco.
 
Keesha, I don't have a Costco near me. I get mine at the AF base commissary. It's reasonable there too.
I have not checked Sam's.
I posted my Black Bean Brownie recipe under the Recipes section.
