- Curries and stews
- Smoothies and shakes

Before opening, shake the can well or stir to combine the separated cream and water. This ensures a consistent texture and flavor throughout your dish. It can be simmered gently in curries and soups, blended into creamy sauces, or used as a base for dairy-free desserts like puddings and ice cream. For beverages, it adds a luscious mouthfeel to smoothies and cocktails. Its subtle sweetness complements a variety of spices and ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to coconut cream, coconut milk has a thinner consistency due to a higher water content. This makes it more suitable for dishes where a lighter, less intensely rich coconut flavor is desired, while still providing a creamy element.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike use this ingredient to achieve authentic flavors in various global dishes.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused coconut milk to a clean, airtight container. Refrigerate and use within 3-5 days. It may solidify when chilled; simply warm it gently to return it to a liquid state before use.
