Coconut milk

Bibendum

If you are going to use very small amounts I would suggest you freeze it in equally small amounts (ice cube trays...). Make sure you shake it well before distribution as it is clearly an emulsion (you could end up with a watery part and an oily part otherwise).

Ooh what a good idea! I would never have thought of that! That's exactly what I'll do then

I've done this with reduced fat coconut milk and it comes out fine.

See here for info on freezing - scroll down to question about how long it keeps for.

We love coconut milk and add it to loads of curry type dishes. Last night's tea was minced beef fried off with some mushrooms in plenty of Pataks Tikka Masala paste, a tin of toms, a tin of lentils, and a tin of coconut milk all bubbled away until the sauce thickened and everything else was fully cooked. Tasted lush.

You can also use it to make rice pudding.

Thai style soups - add fish and thai seasonings (corriander / lemongrass etc) and coconut milk.

Erm - that's all I can think of for now. HTH :xmastree: I love it too!!!

You could freeze it, but I think that it would separate on thawing, as it has a high fat content.

I have used it to make a rice pudding extra tasty, but you could cook chicken fillets in it, or make it up as ice cream.

I thought there was a thread started by Squeaky a while back but can't find it now.

My aunt use to use it in jelly (half water, half coconut milk) - particularly lime.

Love these Xmas smilies:snow_grin
