Coconut cream - Certified Thermomix person

If there's one that I learnt while using my thermomix, is to buy the least possible. For instance, I make my own flours and dairy. Here, I show how I make my own coconut cream using 2 ingredients only; coconut and milk! this is a great alternative to heavy cream and gives a wonderful taste of summer and holidays
