Hey, Linda, I’m a native of Gulf Breeze and a GBHS Dolphin class of ’78! A friend posted your recipe on FB and I will definitely try it.

Heather, it sounds like you have a jar of CCC that you have not remixed the oil back into the cream. They get separated. Tropical Traditions has a video showing how to remix them. It is easiest in warm weather or, second best is to cover the jar in hot water. If you don’t have time for that, then look at the outside of the jar to see the super white oil at the top half to 3/4 inch and the duller white cream below that. Dig down to use the cream. Blend it with room temp water and nothing cold so that it dissolves completely. After that, you can add ice or anything cold.

Heather: Coconut Cream Concentrate isn’t a milk, it’s more like a peanut butter except that it’s coconut. It can however, be used as a decent coconut milk substitute by adding a few teaspoons or so to water. To learn how to melt it down and mix the oil back into the product, please watch the video here: http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/coconut_cream_concentrate.htm (scroll down). 

Also, this article that I wrote may be helpful to you: http://www.freecoconutrecipes.com/index.cfm/2009/9/10/Using-Coconut-Oil-in-Beverages 

The same technique for adding coconut oil to cold drinks can be applied to CCC in it’s liquidy state.

I can’t get the coconut cream to become milky.  It always makes my smoothie have an oil, slippery feel to it that I can’t stomach.  How do you make it creamy?  I’ve just about given up on my coconut cream as I bought it to make coconut milk and it is just oil.
