The coconut craze continues with these old coconut recipes from the previous century. Some of the recipes seem a bit weird and some look like they might need some modern day updates, but all the recipes show you how people in the early 1900s used coconuts for nearly every meal, and not just dessert.
1. Coconut Corn Muffins
I have eaten a lot of corn muffins throughout my life, but I have never had one made with coconut.
2. Coconut Cornflake Macaroons
This World War II recipe is different from the recipes we use today.
3. Coconut War Cakes
War cakes were very popular during WWII because they used only the most basic ingredients to make the dessert.
4. Coconut Pudding
Coconut pudding is one of my favorite desserts. This particular recipe was published in 1917.
5. Coconut Loaf
Here is a vegetarian meat loaf made with coconut.
6. Coconut Soup
This is a 1917 recipe for hot coconut soup.
7. Coconut Croquettes
These croquettes make a nice vegetarian dish. All you need to do is use vegetable fats for frying instead of lard.
8. Coconut Souffle
There is nothing like a homemade hot souffle served after dinner.
9. Coconut Easter Eggs
These Easter egg chocolates are fun to make any time of the year. XXXX sugar is fine confectionary sugar.
10. Coconut Duchess Potatoes
This is one recipe I have never tried, but now I am curious.
