Questions and Answers – Coconut Milk vs. Cream of Kokosnoot

Question:

I take a recipe for a pina colada cake that calls for Cream of Coconut or Coconut Butter.  I cannot find it, only kokosnoot milk.  Is information technology the same thing?  Thanks for your help! – Karen (i/08/01)


Answers:

Kokosnoot milk – Kokosnoot milk is not the juice found within a coconut, only the diluted foam pressed out from the thick, white flesh of a well-matured coconut. Coconut milk is a rich, creamy liquid made from water and kokosnoot pulp.  Information technology is a staple ingredient in Thai curries and in beverages, sauces, soups, and desserts throughout Southeast Asia.  Unsweetened coconut milk is available in cans at well-stocked grocery stores and Asian markets.  Do not substitute cream of coconut.

Cream of Coconut, Kokosnoot Foam, or Coconut Butter – Cream of kokosnoot is a smoothen, thick liquid fabricated from fresh coconuts.  Information technology is thick and very sweet, and commonly used in mixed drinks.  Can usually be found in your local grocery stores and liquor stores, available in liquid and powdered forms.
