This coconut milk can be used to add richness and flavor to a wide range of recipes.
- Curries and stews
- Smoothies and shakes

To use Pics Coconut Milk, simply open the can and stir well, as the coconut cream may separate.

How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused coconut milk to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate. It should be consumed within a few days. The separated cream can be stirred back in before use. Do not freeze the liquid as it may alter the texture.
