    I use leftover coconut milk up in a stirfry. Fry your seasoned veg, meat and cooked rice and then just add the milk near the end. It makes the stirfry lovely and creamy without being too coconutty.

    Get a small tin of condensed milk, mix it with the coconut milk. Put into flat dish and put dish into freezer. Every hour or so, move the frozen bits around the edge into the middle. Eventually, it will have all frozen, and you have some extremely sweet coconut ice cream.

    For myself I am an optimist - there does not seem to be much use being anything else.

    Definitely in rice pudding - yum! Or use to replace some of the liquid when bread making - makes great coconut flavoured bread which goes well with curries, or add to a fruit loaf instead of milk.
    If I'm over the hill, where was the top?
  • Tonight I made Caribbean style rice and peas to go with Jerk chicken recipe- cook rice in coconut milk watered down a fair bit if it is a thick one with kidney beans, thyme and spring onions- rice has a lovely light coconutty taste without being overpowering.

    I *think* you could freeze the coconut milk, perhaps in ice cube trays so you can use a little at a time as needed.

    I freeze it in ice cube trays then once they are actual cubes pop them out and into a freezer bag to save space in the freezer.

    I pop them into stir frys to make them coconutty mainly but then I'm not very imaginative with exotic ingredients!
