STORY BEHIND THE RECIPE<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Many dishes and desserts require coconut cream or coconut milk to give it a richer taste or “lemakness” from the high-fat content.<\/p>\n

Fresh coconut milk is always sweet and more fragrant than store-bought versions, and come with no additives and preservatives. So if you have the time, why not try making your own freshly squeezed coconut milk! You can use this to make dishes like chicken curry<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0fish head curry<\/a> or desserts like\u00a0burbur\u00a0chacha<\/a>\u00a0and Thai red ruby<\/a>!<\/p>\n

TRICK OF THE TRADE<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

There will be two rounds of extraction, the first will produce the heavier coconut cream whilst the second round will result in a light and fresh coconut milk. Coconut cream is thicker and denser because it comes from a 1:4 ratio of water to coconut. Whereas the milk, which is less opaque, has a consistency similar to animal milk or other milk substitutes and is made from mixing one part coconut to one part water.<\/p>\n

COCONUT CREAM VS COCONUT MILK<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

There are different uses for both coconut cream and coconut milk. Coconut cream or santan is mostly used in the base of most Asian curries. It helps to lower the spice levels while giving it that velvety texture. Coconut cream can also be used as a dairy-free substitute for cream in desserts.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, coconut milk is used as a milk substitute in coffee or in food if people do not enjoy the thickness of coconut cream.<\/p>\n
