Freezes well. If you would like a creamy soup, add 1 cup / 240 ml of your choice of milk, preferably organic pastured or plant-based (coconut beverage-type milk may work best here).

    What is Tahini, like a salad dressing? Where can I get it?
    Is the Cocoa Powder like a container of Hershey Cocoa?
    is the Whipping Cream normal stuff in the dairy case?
    where would I get almond or nut oil?
    is there a recipe to bake the coconut bread?
    what is Mascarpone Cheese like, I’ve never heard of it and would another cheese be similar?

      Hi, Andrea.
      “Tahini” is sesame paste – it has the consistency of salad dressing, and certainly can be used for that – but it is more likely to be found in the ethnic foods category of a supermarket.
      The cocoa powder that we recommend is pure cacao – yes, this Hershey’s product counts: https://www.hersheys.com/en_us/products/hersheys-natural-unsweetened-cocoa-8-oz-cans.html.
      The whipping cream is indeed the product in the dairy case – liquid, unwhipped, unsweetened.
      Nut oils are available in health-oriented stores like Whole Foods Market or Trader Joe’s, and may even be in some CostCo branches – you can choose if you want hazelnut, almond, Brazil nut, etc., whatever flavor you like.
      Our recipe for coconut bread is here: https://www.trimdownclub.com/recipe/keto-coconut-flax-bread/ (you can also find some in the same stores that sell nut oils).
      Mascarpone cheese is like a very soft, cream cream cheese, and higher in fat. You can sort of convert full-fat cream cheese to a mascarpone-like version by combining it with a little heavy whipping cream and coconut oil.
