If using bagged or frozen, does it need to be sweetened or unsweetened?

I'm not sure but it couldn't hurt to try. I would just add a little liquid to the bagged coconut like milk or something. I've never heard of frozen coconut but if you can get it then I would use it. Good luck with recipe!

Yes...I think so. The canned coconut seems to be more moist than the bagged. I have never tried the frozen.

Have you tried a international store or oriental store? They usually carry the product along with coconut cream and coconut milk which, if you have to add the milk or cream to bag coconut and let it soak for 3-4 hours.

I can never find canned coconut either-So I just use the kind in the bag.

Buy a fresh coconut, lots of trouble but worth it. Use a hammer to crack the shell, use a sharp knife to remove coconut in chunks, if you want to chop it use a food processor. Save the milk as it also is good in foods.

Canned is a little more moist than bagged, as far as I've ever been able to tell. You may have to adjust the liquid in the recipe.
Other than that, I think it should be OK to substitute.

the bagged is probably drier. Add some water or milk to moisten it before using in recipe.
