Related to Coconut Milk
Milk
Cow's milk swaps 1:1 by volume for full-fat coconut milk and pours thinner and less rich (258 g vs 240 g per cup), with a clean dairy taste in place of coconut sweetness. Use it in curries, cocoa, or pancakes when the coconut flavour and dairy-free body are not needed. See our Milk converter.
Coconut Cream
Coconut cream is the thick, fatty top layer of tinned coconut milk and brings far more body. They are close in weight (245 g vs 240 g per cup). To swap it in, thin the cream with a little water, or chill a tin of coconut milk and scoop the solid top for a richer result. See our Coconut Cream converter.
Evaporated Milk
Evaporated milk is reduced cow's milk, richer and slightly heavier than coconut milk (265 g vs 240 g per cup) with a clean dairy taste. Swap it 1:1 for a creamy, non-coconut body in sauces and bakes when a dairy result suits the recipe. See our Evaporated Milk converter.
Desiccated Coconut
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.
