Coconut milk is the creamy liquid pressed from grated coconut flesh, sold full-fat in tins or as a thinner drinking variety in cartons. One metric cup (250 ml) of full-fat tinned coconut milk weighs around 240 grams or 8.47 ounces. When a recipe calls for coconut milk in cups but the tin lists millilitres, converting by weight stops you over-pouring into curries, ice creams, and dairy-free cakes.

Tins of coconut milk hold around 400 ml, while recipes mix cups, grams, and tablespoons. Converting between the four lets you portion out half a tin without guessing.

  • tinned coconut milk
  • full-fat coconut milk

Cow's milk is thinner and less rich than full-fat coconut milk (258 g vs 240 g per cup), with a clean dairy flavour where coconut milk brings sweetness and aroma. Swap 1:1 by volume in curries, cocoa, or pancakes for a dairy-free result; in cakes, expect a fainter coconut note in the crumb. See milk in millilitres.

Coconut cream is the thicker, fattier top layer of tinned coconut milk. They are close in weight (245 g vs 240 g per cup); chilling a tin and scooping only the solid top gives a closer match to coconut cream when a recipe asks for it. See coconut cream in millilitres.

Evaporated milk is reduced cow's milk with no added sugar, while tinned full-fat coconut milk is plant-based and higher in fat (around 20%). They are close in weight (265 g vs 240 g per cup); coconut milk swaps in 1:1 for a dairy-free result, with a coconut flavour and a richer body in sauces and bakes. See evaporated milk in millilitres.

Desiccated coconut is the dried flesh that coconut milk is pressed from. Steep it in hot water and strain for a quick homemade milk, or reach for the dry form when a recipe wants coconut texture rather than liquid. See our Desiccated Coconut converter.
