How to choose coconut milk & cream

Choose the coconut product your recipe calls for: cooking milk, light milk, cream or sweetened condensed coconut milk. A coconut beverage carton is a different product and may not work the same way in a sauce or dessert.

Compare fat content and the complete recipe, including gums, sugar and preservatives. Read storage and mixing directions, and check the amount needed before buying a multipack or substituting a different concentration.
