INGREDIENTS
 

  • 200 g Coconut Meal left over from making toasted coconut milk or cream

INSTRUCTIONS

TO QUICK DRY

  • Pre-heat oven to 325°F convection (163°C fan).
  • Spread shredded coconut over a baking dish lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake coconut on middle rack for 15-20 mins until it is completely dry.
  • Open oven 1/2 way through and gently stir the coconut with a spatula to help it dry evenly.
  • Cool completely. Then blend in a high speed blender for 2-3 minutes until reaches a fine powder. You can sift once and blend a second time if you want a finer powder. Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

TO SLOW DRY & DEHYDRATE

  • Pre-heat oven to 170°F convection (76°C fan) or dehydrate setting.
  • Spread shredded coconut over a baking dish lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake coconut on middle rack for 1-3 hours until it is completely dry.
  • Open oven 1/2 way through and gently stir the coconut with a spatula to help it dry evenly.
  • Cool completely. Then blend in a high speed blender for 2-3 minutes until reaches a fine powder. You can sift once and blend a second time if you want a finer powder. Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Notes

The longer you bake the coconut with the quick dry method, the darker it will become but watch it closely as it browns VERY fast! The darker you toast the coconut, the stronger the flavour profile it creates. So depending on your taste & what you're using it for, you may want to toast it for less time or more time.
