Here’s how to make coconut cream from coconut milk, and vice versa! These two products can be used to make each other. 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 15-ounce can full fat coconut milk or coconut cream

Instructions

  1. To make coconut cream out of coconut milk: Take the can of coconut milk and place it in the refrigerator overnight. After refrigeration, open the can and use a spoon to remove the coconut cream at the top, leaving the water below. You should get about 1/2 cup coconut cream. To get it to the texture of canned coconut cream, whisk it with a teaspoon or two of the coconut water until smooth.
  2. To make coconut milk out of coconut cream: Mix 3 tablespoons coconut cream into 1 tablespoon water to make about 1/4 cup coconut milk.
