Hey guys.

I have some vanilla coconut milk in the house.

Thanks!!

    On cereal! Although we have tried all brands/types and prefer the SO Delicious Unsweetened coconut milk.

    Or simmer shrimp some shrimp in it... a little bit of curry sauce and the coconut milk is a nice counterpoint to the heat. Great over whole wheat pasta (or other healthy carb)

    I use coconut milk in place of regular milk for most all my cooking. I love vanilla coconut milk in any variety of black tea- the nutty flavor is delightful! I also use it in oatmeal nearly every morning. It also makes some AMAZING hot cocoa.

    Trinidad stewed chicken

    It's vanilla flavored :noway: and sweetened :huh:
    For stewed chicken, I stick with canned, powdered or canned pigeon peas in coconut milk. :drinker:

    I use vanilla coconut milk beverage in smoothies, as creamer in coffee etc.

    Pumpkin curry! Even though it is vanilla, the sweet/spicy factor is so yummy!

    Make a Pumpkin Pie Smoothie:

    Freeze coconut milk an ice cube tray. Freeze some unsweetened pumpkin puree in an ice cube tray. Use same amounts of coconut cubes to pumpkin cubes and sweeten with a spotted/very ripe banana. Add a dash of salt and some cinnamon/pie spice. Blend with a splash of unfrozen coconut or almond milk until you get the smoothie/shake consistency you like.

    Yummm.

    Nearly any recipe that you would use milk in and where a vanilla flavor would be nice:

    Pudding - rice, bread, banana, chocolate, etc
    "Ice Cream"
    Cereals
    Oatmeal
    Sweetened Grits
    Curries - if you don't mind them a little sweeter
    Beverages - coffee, tea, smoothies
    Straight Up with cookies :blushing:

    Have fun with or keep it simple, either way it's delicious :drinker:
