that depends what coconut you are referring to. A young coconut is smooth. Some of them are hairy. If you want to know for sure, you can go find them in some markets or maybe a country name Thailand where there are many young coconuts that can be served fresh.

Is ribbon coconut just regular coconut?

It's unsweetened coconut cut in very thin slices or "ribbons". Unsweetened flaked coconut would be the same thing except for the texture. I use ribbon coconut in a peanut brittle recipe and it doesn't turn out well with regular, unsweetened coconut. The coconut you find at the grocery store with the nuts and chocolate chips is sweetened. I found unsweetened flake coconut in the natural foods aisle.

Can I use coconut flour instead of coconut flakes?

A substitute for dried/dessicated shredded/flaked coconut will depend on the recipe. Most use it for flavour and texture. In some recipes, rolled oats or wheatgerm could be the subsitute, but be aware that this will give a very different flavour, and is not suitable for some recipes. Coconut ice is very dependent on the texture and flavour of the coconut.


Can you substitute flaked coconut for shredded coconut in a recipe?

If the coconut is a fine flake, I think you possibly could. But, since the canned coconut is sweeter, and more moist, there may be some difference in the moistness of the cake. As for the sweetness: the traditional icing for an Italian Cream Cake is rather sweet anyway, which could compensate for the sweeter taste of canned coconut, and that may actually taste better than canned coconut. I would certainly give it a try, but probably not at a time when I am making that particular recipe for a special ocassion.
