Coconut milk?

ToughTulip

I still have a few cans of coconut milk left over from my bulk.

Does anyone have any recipes or links to share of food you enjoy with it?
Only one I have made is coconut curries!

I have calories to spare btw so that is not an issue

It's freakin awesome in coffee

This will sound weird but it's good: Avacado Shake

1 small ripe avocado, pitted, peeled, and sliced
3/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1/2 cup light coconut milk
3/4 cup lowfat milk
Pinch salt

Throw in blender and zoomzoom.

I love to use it in smoothies.

I add a few handfuls of spinach or kale, a banana, ground flax seeds, whatever frozen fruit I have, and the coconut milk. It is so yummy! Usually I use half a can of coconut milk and the rest water. It is still nice and creamy!

You can use it in soups. Butternut squash or pumpkin come to mind. You can google recipes.

Kao Soi. I am an addict. This one is a good recipe for it; I usually stick with the chicken recipe.

BTW: This is a popular drink in the Philippines and Brazil and lots of people will have their own family recipes. Obviously, you can substitute things like almond milk for the milk.etc. to your liking.

I do make it myself!

I just do:

1 can coconut cream
1 cup milk or coconut milk
2 big ripe avocados
1/2 cup sugar

very simple and easy tastes good with a little lemon juice too!

Pumpkin and coconut soup?

Freeze it in an ice cube tray, then blitz in a blender with frozen banana chunks for an ice cream type treat?

Blend with pineapple and rum for a mental delicious pina colada?

Mark Sisson's Primal Blueprint Cookbook incorporates coconut milk into lots of recipes. The baked chocolate custard is great (I used half the maple syrup suggested).

It's apparently good in all kinds of cream/milk based soups. I don't eat much soup, but was thinking of trying cream of broccoli soup (coconut milk instead of milk/cream) and maybe cream of mushroom. I just used coconut milk in Chicken Fennel stew (also Mark Sisson) and it was delicious.

I use full fat coconut milk always. I've never had coconut cream but I've heard that there is sugar added.

Yup, its great in coffee (but I still love my heavy dairy cream) and I put some in my whey shakes sometimes too.

I put it in my brown rice its delicious

Chocolate banana cream pie... http://www.katiekdid.com/2012/01/03/chocolate-banana-cream-pie-for-one-of-those-days/

It was really good... the almond crust was interesting. I added sweetener, too.

I love it as a base for a thai curry sauce.
