Pineapple Coconut Creme

A.K.A. Not Green Stuff
serving size approx. 1/2 cup (or slightly more), contains approx. 28 g fat

Inspiration: That green fluffy stuff at holiday potlucks, the ones with pistachio pudding, marshmallows, nuts... whatever that stuff is. But this one is oh, so much better! And very easy!

COPYRIGHT: Rachel Ernst 2007

13.5 oz can Organic Whole coconut milk (Whole Fat "Classic" unsweetened. brand recommendations: Natural Value, Native Forest, 365)
8 oz. can crushed pineapple in juice
1 and 1/4 cup finely shredded unsweetened, dried coconut flakes (brands: Let's Go Organic!)
1 to 2 teaspoons natural almond extract
optional: Crispy Nuts--Pecans for garnish
optional: additional sweetener
optional: Green food coloring (brands: Seelect http://www.seelecttea.com/index.php?cPath=41)

Mix all ingredients except nuts in 1 quart container and refrigerate overnight. Serve with pecans on top.

This sounds delicious! I can't wait to try this out at our next pot luck. No more mystery green stuff!
