Coconut Cream

• Use coconut cream to create luxuriously smooth vegan desserts like panna cotta, chocolate mousse, or ice cream. Its high fat content replicates the richness of dairy, offering a decadent and plant-based alternative.
• Stir coconut cream into Southeast Asian curries like Thai green curry or Malaysian rendang to add a layer of creamy sweetness and a subtle coconut flavor that complements the spices perfectly. Ensure the sauce doesn't split by adding it toward the end of the cooking process.
• Whip chilled coconut cream for a delicious dairy-free alternative to traditional whipped cream. It's perfect for topping pies, cakes, or fresh fruit salads, offering a light and airy texture with a hint of coconut.
• Incorporate coconut cream into smoothies or shakes for added richness and a tropical twist. It will create a velvety smooth texture and delicious flavour, especially when combined with fruits like mango, pineapple, or banana.
• Make a rich coconut cream frosting by beating coconut cream with powdered sugar and a touch of vanilla extract. This frosting is ideal for topping cakes, cupcakes, and other baked goods, lending a delicate sweetness and smooth consistency.
• Add coconut cream to your coffee to give it an extra dose of flavour and texture. It provides a rich, creamy sweetness without any of the dairy!

• Rich in healthy fats, specifically medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which may support weight management.
• May improve heart health by increasing HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
• Can provide a source of electrolytes like potassium, essential for maintaining fluid balance.
• May boost the immune system due to its lauric acid content, known for its antimicrobial properties.
• Supports digestive health with its fiber content, promoting regular bowel movements.
• Provides essential minerals like iron and magnesium for overall wellness.

Unopened cans or cartons of coconut cream can be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, for up to their expiration date. Once opened, transfer the coconut cream to an airtight container and refrigerate immediately. It will typically last for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. You can also freeze coconut cream for longer storage; however, the texture may change slightly upon thawing. Thaw frozen coconut cream in the refrigerator before using and stir well, as separation may occur.
