Questions about Coconut cream
What is the difference between coconut cream and coconut milk?
Coconut cream is thicker and more concentrated, with less water than coconut milk. In a tin, the cream may rise to the top; stir it in for a smooth sauce or scoop it off for whipping.
Can you whip coconut cream for a dairy-free topping?
Chill the tin overnight, then lift off the firm cream and whip it in a cold bowl; leave the watery liquid behind. It works best with a product labelled coconut cream, as some brands stay too thin to whip.
How do you stop coconut cream splitting in a curry?
Stir it into the curry over a gentle heat rather than boiling it hard. If the recipe starts with frying curry paste, fry the paste first, then add the coconut cream gradually and simmer gently.
What can you cook with coconut cream?
Use it in Thai-style curries, creamy soups, lentil dhal and sauces, or stir it into rice pudding. A spoonful also enriches a smoothie or porridge without adding much liquid.
Can you use coconut cream instead of coconut milk?
Yes, but thin it with water to get closer to coconut milk’s consistency: start with one part water to two parts coconut cream. For a recipe where creaminess matters, use it undiluted and add liquid only if needed.
How should you store coconut cream after opening?
Transfer leftovers from the tin to a clean, covered container and refrigerate; use within a few days. It may firm up or separate when cold, so stir it or warm it gently before using.
How much coconut cream should you use in a serving?
A tablespoon (15 g) is a useful amount for enriching one portion of soup, sauce or porridge; it provides 50 kcal. For a curry serving several people, measure it by the recipe rather than adding it freely.
