I'm truly puzzled that you couldn't find cream of coconut at any of those stores, but I'm more perplexed that employees didn't help you find it. Cream of coconut comes in a can and is not an exotic hard-to-find item. It is usually found either in the Latin or Indian section of supermarkets, or sometimes in the bartending section or the baking aisle. You can also find it in many liquor stores. Brand names include Coco-Lopez, Goya and Roland.
