    And I made these a week or so ago and they were SOOO sweet! (I made it into 4 servings and I couldn't even finish a whole serving!)

    coconut milk is great for a lot of things. I soak lean meats in it before I cook them up. If you wanna make curry, coconut milk is a necessity. it's also great in smoothies.

    You can make whipped cream with it.

    Put a can of coconut milk in the fridge overnight. Next day, take it out and open it up. You should see a layer of cream on top. Scoop the cream off the top without getting any of the liquid on the bottom. Whip the cream with an electric mixer for 5 minutes or so until peaks will stand. Fold in some melted dark chocolate (I recommend 70% or higher) to form a mousse. Serve with fresh berries for a great dessert. I suppose honey, raw sugar or even Stevia could be added to sweeten it up a little.

    The remaining liquid from the bottom of the can should be used in a smoothie or whatever.

    I found this recipe on marksdailyapple.com.

    What kind of coconut milk? The stuff in the carton or the stuff in the can? I believe they're two totally different things (with different caloric values). Awesome, but different.

    The canned one is good for:
    - coconut rice
    - curries
    - marinades
    - baking pies
    - soups

    The one in the carton is "replacement" for milk (I use that term loosely so I don't get slammed) for adults who don't do regular milk.
    - in a bowl of cereal
    - in regular oatmeal
    - in baked oatmeal (YUM!)
    - in shakes
    - sauces

    I drink it plain hahahah! :) Or I use it when making Asian food. Get a chicken breast and put it in Coconut milk, reduce that to about half then season with lemon pepper and salt and you have some good flavor. Make some basmati rice with Cumin and Parsley with a bit of Curry powder. So good. :)

    I love coconut milk- i drink the Silk vanilla one with breakfast, have it in my oatmeal or over cereal, make hot chocolate with it... They even make coconut milk ice cream, which is delicious.

    May I also suggest getting the ones from Zico that are flavored? They just came out with a Dark Chocolate one that I am currently wracking my brain over on how to incorporate it in recipes.

    By itself its very very good! Liek chocolate milk- and 14 ounces for 110 cals that puts a ton of potassium and iron into your system? Pfffftttttt.... count me in!

    I like coconut milk ice cream.

    mix with sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder to taste, whisk well and throw in ice cream maker... tastes like an almond joy bar! :)
    you can also use, agave, or stevia if you prefer

    I mix mine with crunchy peanut butter, sriracha, and a little soy sauce. Add some sauteed chicken, veggies, garlic, and noodles. Pretty tasty. :love:

    Oooooh, I must give this a try! I'm lactose intolerant, so I sometimes use Cool Whip Lite, but I always feel a guilty because it's really not food!

    I bet you could just flip over the can and use a church key to punch a hole and drain out the coconut water before opening the can all the way to get out the fatty cream....

    I would use it in my ViSalus Shake to make a healthy supplement shake. Go visit my website and watch the video. If you want to lose weight the right way. www.yvp512.myvi.net .

    Pina Colada shake
    2 scoops ViSalus shake
    8 - 12 oz of coconut milk
    4 pieces of fresh pineapple
    5-8 pieces of ice
    Pulse your Blender/Mixer or Ninja mixer

    Delicious Shake that's less then 2 bucks. So healthy for you. No dyes, preservatives, chemicals or addatives. Just yummy. It's smooth, creamy, and smells and tastes like cake mix. Go and try it. Yvette P. Stevenson
