Coconut Essence Oil Based Flavouring 20ml

Caroline's Coconut Essence is a concentrated oil-based flavouring that delivers a rich, true coconut taste to your baking and confectionery. Because it is oil-based, it blends perfectly with chocolate, buttercream and other fat-based mediums without causing seizing or splitting — something alcohol-based essences can cause. A small amount goes a long way, and the 20ml glass bottle with built-in dropper gives you precise, mess-free control with every use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use coconut essence in chocolate?

Yes — Caroline's Coconut Essence is oil-based (triacetin), which makes it fully compatible with chocolate and other fat-based mediums. Water-based or alcohol-based essences can cause chocolate to seize, but this one blends smoothly. Add a few drops at a time and stir well.

How much coconut essence should I use per batch?

Start with ¼ to ½ teaspoon per batch and adjust to taste. Oil-based flavourings are concentrated, so a little goes a long way. It is easy to add more flavour but difficult to balance an overly strong result once baked.
