Savoy Crème de Coco Coconut Cream
What it is
This is a rich and creamy coconut product made from the flesh of coconuts. It is a dairy-free alternative often used in cooking and baking. The cream has a thick consistency and a distinct coconut flavor. It is a popular ingredient in many cuisines around the world, especially in Southeast Asia and the Caribbean. This product is a staple for those seeking plant-based options in their kitchen.
How people cook with it
Crème de coco is a versatile ingredient that adds depth and richness to both sweet and savory dishes. It can transform everyday meals into something special.
- Enriching curries
- Creating smooth sauces
- Baking desserts
- Making creamy soups
To use, simply open the can and stir the contents well, as the cream and liquid may separate. You can then measure out the desired amount for your recipe. It can be gently heated or added directly to dishes. For baking, it can be whipped to create a lighter topping or incorporated into batters for added moisture and flavor. Its creamy texture makes it ideal for thickening sauces and stews, providing a luxurious mouthfeel without dairy.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular coconut milk, crème de coco has a higher fat content and a much thicker consistency. This makes it more suitable for applications where a rich, creamy texture is desired, such as in desserts and curries, rather than as a beverage on its own.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs looking for a dairy-free ingredient to add richness and coconut flavor to their dishes.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused crème de coco to a clean, airtight container. Refrigerate and use within 2-3 days. It may solidify when chilled, which is normal. Gently warm it to return it to a pourable consistency before use.
