Full Fat Coconut Cream
What it is
This is a rich, thick liquid made from pressing grated coconut flesh. It contains a high percentage of coconut fat, which gives it a luxurious texture and a distinct tropical flavor. It is typically unsweetened and can be used in a wide variety of culinary applications, both sweet and savory. The cream is separated from the coconut milk, resulting in a more concentrated product.
How people cook with it
This versatile ingredient adds a creamy richness and subtle coconut essence to many dishes.
- Enriches curries and stews
- Forms the base of desserts
- Creates smooth sauces
- Adds depth to beverages
To use, simply open the can and stir thoroughly to combine the solid and liquid parts. It can be added directly to simmering dishes like curries, soups, and stews to impart creaminess and flavor. For desserts, it can be whipped or incorporated into batters and fillings. It also works well as a dairy-free alternative in many recipes, providing a similar mouthfeel and richness. Adjust the amount to achieve your desired consistency and flavor intensity.
How it differs from similar foods
Coconut cream is thicker and richer than coconut milk due to its higher fat content. This makes it ideal for applications where a dense, creamy texture is desired, whereas coconut milk is more suitable for thinner sauces or as a liquid base.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs use this to enhance the flavor and texture of their dishes.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused coconut cream to a clean, airtight container. Refrigerate and use within a few days. The cream may solidify when chilled; gently warm it before using if needed.
