sitting in my fridge because someone months ago somewhere told me to put it in there and use it for something.
I have no idea what for. I don't want to waste it. Ideas?
(There they are just standing in a row...)

Makes AWESOME Thai curries... google a recipe. I hope it's the higher fat version and not the lo-fat coconut milk. There are a lot of variations among brands.0

Make chocolate chip cookies with it (I do)! Or Mexican Hot Chocolate (Yum)! I like using the LC Foods brand Coconut Cream instead of coconut milk. It's slightly thicker and has WAY MORE FAT in it (22g fat for the same serving size)!! It also has less carbs (1g) and sugars (0g) per serving too.

I'm sure you could use it the same way in any Thai food recipe too and make them even more awesome than they already are!0 -
Creamed veggies, yum.0

1/3 cup is used in rhubarb muffins from the Atkins website. yum.0

Yogurt substitute with gelatin and culture. Google it, it's delicious.0

I have my Jello Recipe. If you look at the Coconut milk I use in my recipe below, it isn't as "rich" as yours (I'm going to get yours next time).
If you try this, let us know how it came out:
Coconut Flavored Jello
I thought it tasted way better than using water. I think it would be really nice with the Dragon milk.
I hope this helps,

Take the thicker top cream and beat it into whipped cream, or culture it into yogurt

My mind immediately goes to a good oka (Samoan dish using raw fish) http://www.food.com/recipe/oka-samoan-raw-fish-and-coconut-milk-458451 or http://www.samoafood.com/2011/01/oka-ia-fish-salad.html. Im sure it could be made into a keto dish with some adjustments. My mother in law makes this every year at Christmas. I had forgotten about oka actually, I think I'll make some this weekend.
Otherwise curry.0 -
Makes a great sauce for a nice hot-cold contrast say with salmon, fish, beef, bacon, eggs, etc.0

I use it in coffee or chai tea almost every day. Yum!0

I've seen some who drink it with like their meds and things. Just a couple of ounces at a time, but I imagine it works well when the meds say to eat something with them. The other ideas sound great too!0

I blend the cream with frozen strawberries or blackberries for instant soft-serve ice cream!0
-
I used to use it as part of the base for smoothies when I drank them.
Nowadays, I primarily use it either for soap (yep, I do coconut milk soaps), or shampoo.0 -
Definitely a Thai style curry or soup. I do one with chicken, peanut butter and coconut (either cream or milk). Tasty!0

I use it wherever I would use HWC.0
