  2. Gently slice off the top 1/4" of each puff pastry, save top. Transfer cream to a pipping bag and pipe approx. 1/4 c. of cream (or less, depending on the size of your pastry puffs) in to each puff and sandwich with pastry top.

Recipe Notes

[My 2 Cents]
I was able to find coconut cream at my local health food store in the baking section. It is not to be confused with "creamed coconut". The consistency is almost identical to that of heavy whipping cream. It provides the perfect light coconut flavor to these puffs.

    Is that coconut cream sweetened? I know I can get Coco Lopez which is sweetened and is used in creamy cocktails. They look delicious. Thanks for sharing. Pinning this!

      You know, I’m no 100% sure if it is sweetened or not. But I’m sure the Coco Lopez would work just fine!

    I love coconut! It’s my go-to flavor for anything! I had no idea that coconut cream existed. What is the store you bought yours at? I want to go pick some up!

      Isn’t it the BEST?? I’m a huge coconut lover! I didn’t realize it existed either until I was looking at all of my coconut options. I bought it from Good Earth since we are SO close to it. It’s no Whole Foods, but it does the job for being so close to us! Good luck :) Let me know what you think!
