Making Recipes With Coconut Milk

We started cooking with coconut milk back when we first changed to a Paleo-based diet. We were looking for a dairy-free substitute for heavy cream and milk and found that full-fat coconut milk was the best substitute to use. You’ll see that we’ve since perfected a dairy free coconut milk cream sauce for chicken that is used in various ways in some of the recipes in this listing. We also use coconut milk as a coffee creamer, in smoothies, in healthy dessert recipes and curries and soups. It’s such a delicious ingredient that can be used in so many ways!

The Best Brands of Coconut Milk

Hands down – our go-to brand of coconut milk is Aroy-D full fat coconut milk. It is 100% coconut milk without any water, fillers or other ingredients. It’s thick and creamy and very similar in thickness to heavy cream. Other good options for canned coconut milk are:

It’s important to note that most canned coconut milk will contain water, which separates in the can. To get the coconut milk back to a “creamy” consistency, you can run it in a blender for 30 seconds.

Coconut Cream vs Coconut Milk

Coconut cream is just the thicker, creamier version of coconut milk. You can use either coconut cream or coconut milk for these recipes, the sauce will just be a little thicker with coconut cream. Because coconut cream has more fat content than coconut milk, it’s a good option to use when you want a thicker, creamier coconut milk that’s more like heavy cream.
