Okay, I have made this stuff so much that I've run out of erythritol.
Is there anything I can use to sub until my next order gets in? |

Hey do any of you know whether coconut oil is 'saturated' or 'non saturated' fat?

I tried making it last night. It never would whip. Nor would it blend together. I finally gave up & put it in the freezer. I froze more like a fudgecicle. Trying ot eat it was quite a task, cause it would melt so quickly, and seperate out. I took it out, and let it thaw (was in too small a pan, and was too thick). I decided to try whipping again. Still no luck. I have chunks of CO in "chocolate milk" still. Anybody got any idea how to salvage this. Thankfully I only made 1/2 a batch. Oh, I didn't have any pb so it is just chocolate. But I wouldn't think that little bit of oil flavoring would help bind it, or help it whip. ![]()

what was the fat content of your coconut milk Billie ? Like whipping cream the fat content has to be high to whip.

Not high enough evidently Kevin. Your recipe called for Coconut milk, and I used what I had. Didn't really think about it's fat content. I don't have the can from the one I used anymore, but the one I opened today (same brand & info) says 2 oz serving has 4.5 g fat.
It would probably work well with the Coconut cream that I have, instead of the milk. My coconut cream is not the concentrate type that most of you have. It comes in a can, not in a box, and is the consistancy of .... well soft butter maybe. This Coconut milk is very thick, but guess not enough fat. |

I would guess that is the reason then. the brand I use has 10 g fat called Thai Kitchen and I get it at walmart. I thought I mentioned that but I see now I didn't. Then I saw it was in the Whipper thread that I said what the fat content was. Heavycream may work here...I just dont use it ifmy DW might be eating it.

OK thanks Kevin. I have never found coconut milk at my Wal-mart. I've looked in lots of different areas. I find this at an International Food store. I guess I can't really salvage it, unless maybe I try adding cream. But I'm not sure the CO will blend in. Might try adding some of the Coconut cream I have.
I just hate wasting anymore ingredients if I can't get it to blend together. I really prefer dark chocolate to milk chocolate anyway. But that looked so good. |

I am sorry. I should have been more specific
One more added note. I store this in the freezer but I set it out on the counter for about 15 minutes before I eat it. It is slightly messy eating it that way but it simply melts in your mouth that way. |

I just had to come post how my experiment turned out.
I decided to try adding some of my coconut cream (20g fat per 1/2 cup) & whip again. But since the coconut oil was in chunks in the mixture, I decided to melt it. I nuked it about 30 seconds. Then I added the coconut cream as I whipped (I had to use reg beater blades, as I don't have a whip - no kitchen aid). I added maybe 1/3 - 1/2 cup of the cream. Next thing I knew I had butter. Yep, butter & chocolate syrup. It just seemed to go from the liquid to butter. Never did really look creamy.So in the morning I'm gonna fix LC pancakes & have chocolate/coconut butter, and chocolate syrup on em. All is not lost! |

Billie, did you "soften" the coconut cream before you added it?
I tried adding the coconut cream to a protein shake and it turned hard and waxy. . .not great! I need a way to use that coconut cream! Kevinpa's fudge was good. I need to revisit it. . .and see about using coconut oil. . . |

I've never found the cooconut cream concentrate like they talk about on here locally. And I haven't ordered any. Anyway, it is soft (even from the fridge), and didn't need to be softened. It was the coconut oil, which kept turning rock hard when I tried to mix it. (and I did finally put the mixture in the micro for a few seconds, before the last try - before adding the cream) Quote:
But overall I'm pretty happy with the coconut milk I get. And the price is the best I've found. (99cents) I've heard others say they have found it cheaper, but I haven't. The store where I buy mine, doesn't have the concentrated cream. |
