KathyV Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I just took out some frozen coconut cream and I noticed was that it had a "grainy" appearance. Is that normal and will it still be good. Maybe I should not of done that. If that is a normal look for it, how do I get it to look creamy like it was before I froze it? any suggestion?

Guest Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I freeze it frequently because I often use about half a can for curries. I have only defrosted it for cooking, not for drinking. I'd imagine a trip through a blender might give it a creamy consistency. I am thinking of switching to coconut cream in a jar instead of coconut milk. It is more pure and stays pretty happy in it's jar in my cupboard. I think about a 1 to 4 ratio of cream to water is needed to substitute for milk. Maybe that will work for you in the future.

KathyV Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Tom: Thank you, I hope it is good.....stuff is not cheap! Nico: I buy Aroy-D cream and milk in the box. It is 100% pure and when I do open it, I transfer it to a glass jar. But the cream comes in a larger size than the milk that is why I put half of it in the freezer and the other stayed for a about 3 wks in the frig. before it went bad. I do love the taste of the cream and thank you for the ratio I may have to use that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delaine Ross Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Arroy-D has milk in the large containers as well. The label says it only stays good for 2 days (there are no preservatives,) but I have kept mine for 9 with no problems. Tom: Thank you, I hope it is good.....stuff is not cheap!

KathyV Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Delaine Ross: I love the smaller boxes because I don't go through it fast enough. I just wish they would offer the cream in a smaller size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
