Coconut snow is coconut powder that has been finely ground and mixed
with sugar. As I recall, it's light and fluffy but tends not to stay
light and fluffy for long after opening the can. It's a unique product
and could be useful for flavoring cakes and baked goods without
resorting to grated coconut flakes. You might be able to make a similar
product by grinding coconut flakes.
