Roland Cream of Coconut 15 fl oz
What it is
Roland Cream of Coconut is a rich, sweet, and thick liquid made from the flesh of mature coconuts. It is a staple ingredient in many tropical cuisines and popular beverages. This product is distinct from coconut milk or coconut cream due to its added sugar content and smooth, emulsified texture. It brings a concentrated coconut flavor and a luscious mouthfeel to dishes and drinks.
How people cook with it
This versatile ingredient is perfect for adding a tropical essence to both sweet and savory creations. It is particularly well-suited for drinks and desserts.
- Cocktail mixer
- Dessert flavoring
- Sauce base
- Marinade component
To use, simply open the can and stir well before incorporating it into your recipes. For cocktails, it forms the base of many classic tropical drinks, providing sweetness and a creamy texture. In desserts, it can be used in puddings, ice creams, or as a topping. Savory applications include curries and glazes, where its sweetness can balance spicy or tangy flavors. Ensure it is thoroughly mixed to achieve a smooth consistency in your final product.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike unsweetened coconut milk or cream, Roland Cream of Coconut contains added sugar, making it inherently sweet. Its texture is also typically richer and more viscous than standard coconut milk, and it is formulated to remain stable when mixed with acidic ingredients, preventing curdling in beverages.
Who it is for
Home cooks and bartenders often reach for this product to create authentic tropical flavors.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused cream of coconut to a clean, airtight container. Refrigerate and use within 7 days. It may solidify when chilled; simply warm it gently to return it to a pourable consistency before use.
