Can i freeze coconut milk?

  • Thank you everyone for all the advice, my son doesn`t live here now, but comes to stay overnight once a week, which is why I didn`t want to waste the coconut milk. He loves cheese too, which is a bit of a prob, but less so than finding a milk replacement, so thanks for the advice on the alternatives available.

    I think it was the oestrogen in the soya that made him think it would be bad for men, I will show him the post about the benefits.

    Thank you.

  • I just remembered that you can buy DRIED coconut milk. This would mean that you could just make up the amount you need each time.

    Actually, I always used to keep a block of that in because my children like curries. I never thought of using that. I really do get more stupid by the day!

    There's an old thread HERE.
    People suggest that it should freeze ok. I'd think so too, I never have but would give it a try.

    It's only a game

    Um... that's creamed coconut you're talking about, not dried :)

    as others have said, coconut milk is really not one of the best substitutes for dairy, try some of the other milk substitutes instead :)

  • Thanks to everyone who replied. We are sorted now, and we have become Vegan rather than just vegetarian. With the help of the marvellous O/S Vegan thread on here we have found so many really good alternatives to dairy, and are actually eating a far more varied and exciting diet altogether.

    There are some really super recipes about for Vegans.

  • Title says it all really. I only needed half a can for my curry (with is smelling totally lush!)
