BaconGrease, the coconut fat I use is a white hardish substance, a bit like butter. The receipe I started out with called for suet, but they don't sell that in Switzerland. Probably you could use also coconut oil though, its a very flexible receipe.

Hey now don't laugh at the dumb guy!

I was serious, but obviously not very clear
lifted from Wikipedia...
The sweet I was referring too would be
Creamed coconut is a very concentrated coconut extract without the water. Like coconut oil, it is hard at a low room temperature. It is basically coconut cream concentrate, and can be made into coconut cream by mixing it with water, or into coconut milk by mixing it with a larger amount of water

Just the oil
Coconut oil is a fat consisting of about 90% saturated fat.

Sounds like creamed coconut from France's description.

... ehm, I was just thinking it sounds more like the oil .

Basically you need some kind of fat, like suet, could also be butter, but I prefer the dumplings with the taste (or rather lack of taste) of coconut fat. Sorry, oil.

[BaconGrease]

oil it is then.
