This is a recipe that calls for only raw coconut, or shredded coconut with only coconut milk, or water added

Unsweetened Concentrated Coconut Spread
24 oz unsweetened coconut milk
6oz processed coconut meat
1/2 tsp Arrowroot
In a double boiler heat the milk and co cont meat.
Heat to a boil and then reduce heat to a low simmer.
Continue to simmer and stir the mix. A rubber silicon spatula is best for this.
{once the milk had reduced by half you will need to continually stir the mixture to prevent separation and burning.}
When the has reduce to a thick creamy mass add the arrowroot. Remove to a metal bowl and stir while cooling. After the mixture has cooled (hot but bearable) an ice bath may be used to expedited cooling.
Spread it.
Optional:
Cinnamon, cardamon, chocolate...
**I have seen instructions for similar products that used cream of tartar and/or egg whites to stabilize the spread. Cream of tartar (1/4 tsp) is added at the beginning and the egg whites (2-3)are added the last few minutes of heating.
