Premium Coconut Cream – Sunlee


Are you a fan of coconut ice cream or coconut cream pie? Coconut cream, a thick, creamy substance taken from the flesh of ripe coconuts, is used to make these delicacies. Coconut cream is used in a variety of dishes, including curries, soups, desserts, and beverages. It adds a rich flavor and creamy texture to both sweet and savory recipes. Moreover, coconut cream is high in saturated fats, giving it a creamy texture.

However, the fats are primarily medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are metabolized differently than other types of fats. Coconut cream is rich in vitamins and minerals as well, making it a popular choice for dairy alternatives and desserts. Coconut ice cream is one of the most popular desserts in Thailand, where the tropical weather is hot and wet almost throughout the year.

Coconut ice cream, a perfect choice during Summer in Thailand


Known for its unique taste and refreshing qualities, coconut ice cream is a cherished traditional flavor in Thailand. It is a beloved street food and is often sold by vendors in markets, parks, and along beaches. Traditionally, coconut ice cream is made using fresh coconut milk, sugar, and sometimes coconut meat. It often incorporates ingredients like pandan leaves for added fragrance and flavor.

However, there are various, diverse coconut ice cream recipes that choose coconut cream for its rich texture instead. However, the popularity of coconut ice cream as Thais’ favorite street vendor dessert still remains.

Why coconut ice cream is a perfect dessert to alleviate heat during summer in Thailand


There are many reasons why coconut ice cream is a perfect dessert in Thailand. Here are some notable features:

  1. Cooling effect: Since the weather in Thailand is hot, people are in need of an instant cooling effect. Coconut ice cream helps to cool the body down and can be hydrating due to its high water content from the coconut.

  2. Refreshing flavor: The light, refreshing flavor of coconut is particularly soothing in hot weather. Its mild sweetness and tropical taste are invigorating and refreshing.

  3. Nutritional benefits: Coconut cream, the primary ingredient, contains healthy fats, which are more easily metabolized and can provide sustained energy without feeling heavy.

  4. Availability: Widely available from street vendors, coconut ice cream is easily accessible for a quick and refreshing treat while exploring outdoor markets, parks, and beaches.

  5. Versatility: The versatility of coconut ice cream allows it to be paired with a range of toppings such as roasted peanuts, sweet corn, red beans, sticky rice, or even drizzled with syrups, adding to its appeal and cooling effect.

The variety of coconut ice cream


Some people might think that coconut ice cream is good on its own, but that’s not true. Mostly made of coconut cream as a main ingredient, coconut ice cream is versatile and can be used in many dessert recipes due to its rich and smooth flavor and fragrant aroma. Although typical coconut ice cream with toppings is common in Thailand, that’s not all coconut ice cream can offer. Here are some ideas that you may want to try!

  1. Tropical Sundae: Top coconut ice cream with fresh fruits like pineapple, mango, and kiwi. Add a drizzle of honey or caramel and sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes.

  2. Coconut Ice Cream Pie: Make a no-bake pie with a graham cracker crust, fill it with softened coconut ice cream, and freeze until firm. Top with whipped cream and toasted coconut.

  3. Coconut Ice Cream Mochi: Wrap small scoops of coconut ice cream in mochi dough for a delightful handheld treat.

  4. Coconut Ice Cream Float: Combine coconut ice cream with sparkling water, soda, or even a tropical fruit juice like pineapple or mango for a refreshing float.

  5. Coconut Affogato: Pour a shot of hot espresso over a scoop of coconut ice cream for a tropical twist on this Italian classic.

  6. Coconut Ice Cream Parfait: Layer coconut ice cream with granola, tropical fruits, and yogurt or whipped cream for a delicious parfait.

  7. Coconut Ice Cream Trifle: Layer coconut ice cream with cake pieces, fruit, and whipped cream in a trifle dish for an elegant dessert.
