Use about a cup of the reserved coconut water and add to the blender. 2) Blend until completely incorporated, using the tamper to press down the ingredients toward the blade.

The thicker it is the easier it sets in the fridge, though liquid may be needed to facilitate blending. 4) Pour the contents into your springform pan lined with the crust and strawberries. Use a spatula to spread the cream until the sides are filled and the contents are even. 5) Place in the fridge to set while you work on the chocolate.
