Topping
Vanessa adds a coconut cream topping by running the meat of a mature coconut through a heavy juicer. The “juice” will have the consistency similar to whipped cream. Spread cream on top of pie filling before placing pie in the freezer.













Hi
How many coconuts did you use? I noticed the topping looks very dense, what type of juicer could a person substitute if we don’t have a greenstar juicer? I can’t wait to try this recipe!!
Linda-
Coconuts vary in how much ‘meat’ they have in them, but you’ll probably need around 6 to get 2 cups of coconut meat. That’s just a guess though. The topping is very dense because it is juiced mature coconut which has a completely different texture. Once the juice is chilled, it sort of resembles a dense whippped cream. You can try any juicer, but it’s at your own risk! It may or may not work, I haven’t tried with anything other than a Greenstar because that is what I have. You could also eliminate this topping and the cake will be just as awesome!

Which green star filter do you use to juice the ripe coconut. Fine mesh, medium mesh, or homogenizing blank? Also, with the ripe coconut do you have to take off the brown before you juice the pulp?
A Greenstar juicer….
What type of “heavy juicer” is being used?
