Coconut milk

HC82

I opened a can of coconut milk yesterday and used about 1/4 of it in a stir fry. Does anyone know of any other ways I could use it up? I've only ever used it for stir fry and coconut cream pie (which I am not wanting to make today).

Can I put it in oatmeal? Make a dessert out of it with fruit? Anything suggestions would be great, I hate wasting food.

Thanks!

I have also heard of it being used as a whipped topping (similar to whip cream) on fruit. I havent done this yet, but apparently if you whip it up with a hand blender, it will come out the same consistency as whip cream. Use full fat coconut milk.

Interesting...I had no idea. This is light coconut milk though so it likely wouldn't work

I have heard of making rice with it by using the coconut milk in place of water. Haven't tried it, but plan to.

Oh yeah! I knew that and forgot. I wonder if you can do the same thing with steel cut oats...going to google now

Yes a splash of that or almond milk in oatmeal is great!!

Is there a difference between the coconut milk that comes in a can and the kind that comes in carton?

Dairy free whipped cream, add it to coffee or tea, make sauces creamy, add it to smoothies.

I dilute it 1 in 4 (1 can coconut milk and 3 cans of cold water) and drink it in lieu of milk. I love to use it in shakes as well.
