Method
Using a blender or food processor, combine the Monkfruit sweetener and cornflour and process until the mixture resembles fine confectioners sugar.
Place coconut into blender.
Add water and blend until smooth.
Strain into a large jar or jug using a muslin cloth and squeeze to extract the milk from the coconut pulp.
