what to do with a can of coconut cream

Cafe Society

I accidentally bought a can of coconut cream, thinking it was coconut milk. :smack:

I used a tiny bit for curry, but there’s still a lot left. Anyone got any good recipes?

I’m fond of mango pudding. This recipe says coconut milk, but I use coconut cream anyway 'cos it’s yummier and I’m just a rebel like that.

…this might be a hard recipe to pull off: you have to be able to find Taro Leaves! But Palusami is heavenly: a treat in our household that we only have a few times a year.

The Coconut Cream doesn’t have to be light!

Here are a few more recipe’s from Samoa: as the boards only Samoan-Kiwi (as far as I’m aware!) I have to promote some Samoan dishes!

I have never heard of coconut cream, but now I want some desperately. I love mango pudding.

5

Use when making coleslaw instead of mayo. I use half mayo and half coconut cream, white vinegar and sugar.

These sound wonderful! Now I want to go to Samoa!

Thanks for the ideas guys. The pudding sounds the most doable at the moment. :slight_smile:

Pina coladas!
Works well for sorbet too, with lime and lime zest

9

I use it to flavor Kokoda, a type of Ceviche I had in Fiji.
