EvB Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hi, the ingredients on my coco cream and coco milk labels are identical but they're definitely not the same product! I find if I put a tablespoon of cream in my coffee, I am full for hours after so I think this is a good thing but welcome any thoughts or cautions against the use of either product. Thanks!

Tina R Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I think the coconut cream is just thicker. My coconut cream has more fat then my coconut milk. You can use either one that works best for you. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazy Marla Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Yeah, coconut cream has more fat. I whip it (like whipped cream) to dip strawberries and bananas in sometimes. The coconut milk doesn't whip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 If they have a nutrition panel, you should see a big difference between the levels of fat. We're lucky enough to get pure coconut cream and milk here in Australia and I love coconut cream in coffee and thai curries (especially red curry!). To me, a thai curry isn't finished unless it gets that fragrant thin layer of fat appearing on the top at the end. Coconut milk also usually has a little more sugar (natural) as the cream has very little natural sugar and the milk is lower in cream. You can also mix them half and half if you want more fat but less thick. Some recipes which call for coconut cream you can get by using coconut milk and adding coconut oil, but coconut cream also has fibre (coconut meat).

SteFYI Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 So, I'm wondering... I used to put my coconut milk in the fridge and take the dense creamier stuff off the top and whip it for berries. Would that be the same thing as coconut cream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladydeevious Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I found coconut milk in can reduced fat? I want something in my coffee and want to give this a try...but did I make a mistake and got the reduced fat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derval Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Reduced fat is just watered down. Don't pay for water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
